I've found that a big problem using Dreamweaver or other HTML design  
software is in styling links, as the software seem to like to apply  
styles outside of an  tag using a   or some such rather than  
applying it to the tag itself.

This is an inherent problem related to   tags as browsers have a  
built in style for links that overrides any style applied outside of  
the tag.  I frequently have to go in and tweak a lot of code related  
to  link tags when I forget this about  Dreamweaver.

The problem doesn't exist, for instance, when the software uses a  
 to apply a style around a  tag, unless a style has already  
been applied to the  tag.

The it took me a while to develop an eye for "seeing" issues affected  
by the cascading aspect of CSS in situations lie this.  It always  
comes up with  tags because of their default "style".

How about the fact that you're using font tags that are overriding the 
CSS calls?

You need to get rid of those font tags.

Your page is in pretty bad shape. You need a DOCTYPE and you need to 
get rid of the proprietary Adobe tags. For your links, they should 
work if you remove your  tags.

You have font tags inside your links overriding the css.
