Ok... here goes... I've got two questions actually, and if you have answers please use simple language, I'm not a CSS genius (yet!).

1) Is there a way to get my headers (h1,h2,h3, etc) to glow or have a dropshadow using and external style sheet? If so, can it also be done to links, so my links would glow when the cursor is over them?

2) How do you get your page to move but your background stay put? I've seen this various places and would kinda like to try it. Usually the page is 800 px wide and centered, and it just floats on top of the stationary background, kinda. I'd also like that in an external style sheet (if possible - it keeps the already messy HTML a little neater!)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1)
yes, something similar to...
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {style properties here;}
that may be placed in your external file or in a style area of your webpage.

2)
yes, this may also be placed in your external file...
body {background: #ffffff url(SomeImage.gif) no-repeat top left fixed;}


adjust the values as necessary.

Just adding on to what pb&j said for answer #2 -- What you're looking for is called a fixed background :) Thought you might want to know that or the future, in case you want it again and forget the code or something.

to make your headers glow, you could do:
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {filter:glow}

to make your links glow, put:
a:hover{filter:glow}
