You just don't understand. It's like you came into my house last night and stole my life, the only thing I've given most of my time and effort to since my husband died in 2007 and I am alone with nobody close who cares. I don't know anyone who knows your operational quirks and cannot even find anyone who knows enough about my eMac to discuss it's peculiarities. I am this close to pulling the plug, but have no way to explain why I am no longer here to the distant family members. I assume that even if I wished to stay with the colors frozen as they are now, you would not allow that. Tomorrow is my daughter's birthday and I had a special page planned to post to celebrate that -- for that matter I'd already designed layouts for the rest of this month, including other birthdays and holidays. If useable this way even for a brief time I could try to find someone I could hire for help. Every time I go over again what you recommend I look at here about style sheets I come up with another question, most of which I asked in one of my earlier messages here. I know I asked if the web page you require would likely be possible for me to arrange with my ISP, Charter Communications, but I cannot even request what I need intelligently since what looks simple makes me want to be sure it is what I think it is -- a permanent change to a format and color scheme I'm stuck with from then on, with no way to adjust it, even periodically, for observing birthdays and holidays? I waited all day for a response to my earlier messages before I discovered you apparently didn't even get the one that was interrupted just before I sent it, or the some I rewrote and sent after that! Surely you can understand why I have become frantic, needing help so desperately with something that would never seem vital to you, I guess. Yes, you can tell I've gone crazy, no doubt. It must be nice to have that kind of power over some dummies out here.
