Please Help A Fellow Friend

Hey guys! How's it going? Sorry I haven't been here for a while. I've been pretty busy with work lately.

Anyways, I was wondering if you guys could help me. I'm going to set up my own website, but I'm running into a few problems. I'm new to HTML and CSS, so bare with me please.

I thought it would be easier if I showed you would I'm talking about so I uploaded my template onto the web temporarily. Go here to see it. (http://www.freewebs.com/danwasbored)

So what's the problem? Well, in my navigation, I want my links to be the color of black, like they are now. BUT I want my links in my content section to be black, so they show up (you can see what I'm talking about in the third paragraph of text).

Is there some way to do this?

Also, in my content section when I type in text it's automatically positioned in the middle. I think it's because it's a table? The only way I can get it to be at the top is if I type in a whole bunch of  . Is there a way to fix this?

All help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you said something wrong. I think you were meant to say that your navigation links are white BUT you want links in your content to be black.

I can't help you much myself, just thought I'd clearify that for the lazy people.

add

.content a:link, .content a:visited { color: black; font-weight:bold; } to your CSS, after your .content settings.

I'd also suggest adding "padding: 10px" to the the .content line.

It's because you've used a table. Change:

<td class="content" width="70%">

to

<td class="content" width="70%" valign="top">

Thanks a lot Jamblo!

.content a:link, .content a:visited { color: black; font-weight:bold; }can be cut down to
.content a { color: black; font-weight: bold; }

Kentor, that didn't work for me.

Anyways, I got the help I needed. Thanks guys, especially Jamblo.

[Jamblo]

.content a:link, .content a:visited { color: black; font-weight:bold; }can be cut down to
.content a { color: black; font-weight: bold; }

That would depend on what sort of links he was using. Using just "a" would mean any link, including image links, would be assigned those variables, which in this case is fine, but if you started adding borders, padding, etc. to links, you'd need the extra specification.

No worries, by the way!

Just yell if you have any more questions!
