Go with a lighter-coloured background=8Bit's less visually distracting. Black
test is good on white background, or on a light colour like pale blue or
something. No frames is good, as is the setup for the hierarchy.
Also dark backgrounds tend to wear on the eyes more, I believe. It's like
looking through a magnifying glass at a light.

That's very good indeed! Once I get some tutorials (and once I get my page)
done, I'll let you use them.

What does the charge cover, if it's on the net? Or is this at a domain
