Cascading Style Sheets. It's the greatest web technology. You centralize
your entire site from a single page. You can control the entire look and
behavior of your text, links, and more. You can keep your black background,
make hyperlinks show as any color you like, change
font/color/boldness/anything on hover or click. And if you change you mind
later you update a line or two in your STYLE.CSS file and the entire web
site changes. Works great with JavaScript and DHTML too.

Don't hard code, use stylesheets!

See http://www.w3.org/Style/ for more info.

And then I'd have.....white pages? Boring! I'll stick with black, but
will continue the quest for the perfect link colors.

In regards to font sizes: I know very little about web design, but
one thing I did remember from a WebMonkey tutorial was that they said
to never hardcode font sizes, because it would be guaranteed to be
unreadable on somebody's system. I just used the default setting in
FrontPage. If you find it too small on your monitor, bump the text
size up a notch (it's on the View menu in IE), and everything will
get bigger. If there's a better way to do this, somebody let me know.
