James,

It's there... in the home page section headers above the car pix. (e.g. "Our
Latest Drivers- D R I V E R S")

+1 on this use of CSS. This also emphasizes my point to encapsulate styles
in the external stylesheet. There I see only these classes in his external:
.note {
   margin-left : 20px;
}
.edit {
   font-size : 8pt;
}
...for which I'd have NO clue where they'd be used. (no comment about pt)

One point I was trying to make is that dependence on inline styles defeats
most of the major benefits of using CSS. If Lemur was using classes more
efficiently, he'd immediately see that he has WAY to many styles declared
for individual/same selectors (I noted links). When/if he decides to change
this, his only recourse is to do a 1-to-1 manual replacement on each page
for each link.

Alan, have you subscribed to the css-discuss list?
