[CLUE-Tech] Font color for links: variations of a theme

[Kevin Cullis]

Joe,

Sure, I'd like to see it.  Currently, I've just got a static site that
I'm working on because my hosting ISP doesn't do PHP, at least not now. 
I'll be looking sometime really soon after I "go live" with the static
stuff to do more, but it'll have to be based on feedback from my
"customers" such as you, others, and new people.

I'm using 0.6 at the moment and if rarely crashes, but it does.  I've
downloaded the quanta and I'll check it out tomorrow on GNOME.

Absolutely!! Not only consistency with color schemes, but links as well
of the "menu" system which I'm hating editing by hand and need to
"automate" like crazy.  But then, all of us new HTML people don't know
the tricks you do, yet.

Thanks for the help.  You can get a taste of what I'm doing at my site:
