I use Dreamweaver to create my website html code. I'm not sure why, but on my "beta" site the links (text only) displays in black instead of the browser default. This happens in Chrome, Firefox, and IE. Usually my text links are blue underlined. Not now.

Hopefully, I've just overlooked something basic.
You can see what I mean at www.bellmatics.com/index-BETA.htm (only the 4005-7000 choice is finished)
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Because that's what you've specified.

CODE

a {
  text-decoration: none;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #020202;
}

BTW you have stuff that should be in HEAD way down in BODY.

THANKS! Very helpful info, and now I see that the album generator (jalbum) "skin" I'm using writes its own css stylesheet statement, which is then clobbering what I've specified in my Dreamweaver template. No doubt I am making this more complicated than necessary but I'm pretty

when it comes to "skins" and style sheets.

I will also review your HEAD and BODY suggestion!
