My personal web pages
As you can see by my sig, I have a very small personal web page up now and generally like how it looks, except the background color. Any suggestions? If so, let me know the general color and the HTML hex number for it. White is out, as is a dark background. I want a light pastel of some sort. I just can't get the yellow right. :?

Indeed! I like that. I'll give that a shot. Thanks Jack!

Ohh... now the red hyperlinks look goofy. Any way to change that color? Those are the ones that are not visited yet. The maroon on visited links looks fine.

Sure, change the LINK attribute in the BODY tag.
Have you tried using FrontPage for this, btw? It has a pretty nice color picker.

Ahhh... fixed that too. 
No. No frontpage or anything. I am using TextPad for my HTML - a pure text editor. I can't stand HTML files with all that garbage in them. Do a view source on my files. So small and clean.

You could go really nuts and use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). You can change the unvisited, visited, and hover colors of your links (among other things).

I know. I'm revamping my website as well, and I'm going the extreme - CSS, editing it all with xemacs. It's just that FP's colorpicker is very convenient to determine the hex codes.

Ahhh, I understand now what you meant. I use PaintShop Pro and it has a rainbow color selector and in addition to the RGB values, it gives hex for HTML. I am just lousy at pickt out colors.
As for CSS? LOL! No chance. I didn't even do frames.
