Many thanks to you both!
It’s been a long while since I’ve dealt with HTML and CSS, and HTML 5 is new to
me, as is the Bootstrap thing (though I like it a lot), and I’m almost wholly
unfamiliar with CSS 3. I’m a cautious somewhat elderly guy, and I’m more than
a little nervous about whether there may be a lot of folks using old enough
browsers that some of this stuff won’t work well, but I’m hoping that Bootstrap
has taken that into account. I have several pages that seem close to ready for
prime time.
I may wind up leaving the headers alone, anyway, but it was frustrating me that
I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t change the font color. Thanks again!
