Soz, just got back to my machine.

If you haven't already seen it, the problem is that you don't have a
closing bracket on this section of your styles

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6  {
	font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-weight: normal;
	color:	#006;
	margin-top: 1px;
	margin-bottom: 1px;
	letter-spacing: 1px;
	background-color: transparent;
	text-align: left;
<<<---missing closing curly here

remember to check your syntax ;-)

Mike.
