OK..i did what you said..i have a left.html page and a right.html page and this is the code i put on my left.html

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

A:link
{ font-weight: bold; font-size:18 #pt;color:#3300ff; }
A:visited
{ font-weight: bold; font-size:18 #pt;color:#3300ff; }
A:active
{ font-weight: bold; font-size:18 #pt;color:#3300ff; }
A:hover
{ font-weight: bold; font-size:18 #pt; color:#EB00B2; }

</style>

<title>left</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#3300FF" link="#3300FF" vlink="#EB00B2" alink="#3300FF"
<a href="http://www.geocities.com/krissy_baby_01/Me.html" title="*Anything you want to know about me!!*">*AbOuT Me*</a>

oh, i think it's because you have "font-size: 18 #pt".. you were supposed to replace the "#" with 18 :D so just change it to

A:link
{ font-weight: bold; font-size:18 pt;color:#3300ff; }
A:visited
{ font-weight: bold; font-size:18pt; color:#3300ff; }
A:active
{ font-weight: bold; font-size:18pt; color:#3300ff; }
A:hover
{ font-weight: bold; font-size:18pt; color:#EB00B2; }

</style>

also, you have this later:

<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#3300FF" link="#3300FF" vlink="#EB00B2" alink="#3300FF"

but you forgot to add a > at the end. make sure you add the > and you can also take out the whole link part, since the links are described in your CSS.

see if that works :)

Thanx Alot! Ok now i have figured out how i want it..and if u dont mind u can view this to get what i have to say...on my site on my left.html page i just want the links there. and if u view as u can see i have a butterfly then text that says about me..how do i put another butterfly below it and my text link beside that butterfly..i tried just putting the same code under the first code but it came up right beside of about me instead of below it!

sorry i forgot my site link lol..http://www.geocities.com/krissy_baby_01

try putting:

<a href="http://www.geocities.com/krissy_baby_01/Me.html"><img src="butterfly.gif" border="0"></a>
<font face="verdana" color="#3300FF" size="5">*About Me*</font>
<br>
<a href="http://www.geocities.com/krissy_baby_01/Me.html"><img src="butterfly.gif" border="0"></a>
<font face="verdana" color="#3300FF" size="5">*Links*</font>

you can change the bold part to whatever you want it to say :) the <br> tag makes whatever comes after it drop down to a new line. so just put that tag if you don't want the next thing to be right next to the last.. hope that makes sense :lol:

As far as I know, GeoCities [and most, if not all, free hosts] won't support favicons.
