Not sure what resolution, something under 800x600. I'm using my default browser, Netscape Communicator 4.5 and I'm on a Mac (best OS out there). > > > I like the beautiful use of CSS.

Try defining font colors in RGB (Red, Green, Blue). It *really* makes everything more specific. If you have Photoshop, either choose a color or make one up by mixing. Double-click on the little colored icon that tells you the current color you're painting/drawing with. A window will pop up with a color spectrum and a whole buncha numbers. The three bottom left ones will be the R, G and B. Copy those down and in CSS put: color: rgb(r,g,b); Replacing the letters with the numbers. I find it's great, also handy if you want to match a graphic's background with the page's background. > >maybe I'll change it to purple instead of green...

There's only two specific situations where I can stand pink... but that's a different story. Maybe even mixing up the colors? Throw some white in there or something. All those dark reds just seem so oppressing and dull to me. > > > Or maybe I should have kept my mouth shut. Feel free to ignore me. > >no, no, don't keep your mouth shut!

I'll definately try to make an effort to do that more often. Though usually I don't get time to look at a site/problem until long after it's all over.
