Okay, I like this. I didn't notice the 'short page shrift' until you
said something, but after you did, it really bugged me, too.

In general, using the shorthand in my code has been a good thing, but
seems to be conditional too. Like trying to put bold in the { font:
125% #000 bold } seems to make the text less bold than it is if it is
on a tag line by itself, like { font-style: bold; } I'm not sure
why this is. Where I wished it to be more bold, I put it in a
separate tag.

Or I could go with blood red? -grin- Actually, the font does bold
and go from gray to black when hoovered over so it does have some
difference. I chose to leave the active link like the hoover,
however.

No, not scary black.. more like black tie? Actually, the client
seems to want the monochromatic theme, but I think it has an elegant
look, personally. Now my next project will probably be more in
techni-color. Maybe I can throw some lime-green color when the links
are hoovered over for that one.
much thanks!
