Hi!  I am feeling really stupid.  I have been struggling for three weeks with my css code for three weeks trying to get a second color for links on:  http://www.orionconsultinggroup.net

I have looked it up on several websites and I am afraid that I am making a mess of my css without positive results.  I have designed a web page that has a dark gray (#252525) background with a header and navigation panel that contain ecru type (#D4CFBB).  I have an inset named #CV which has an ecru background (#D4CFBB) with dark gray lettering (#252525)—the inverse.  I cannot, for the life of me, seem to be able to achieve a second color for the links in the #CV area.  When I have added a link color in #CV, it turns the type to the background color (the default setting) and the type becomes invisible.  Can anyone help me with this?  I know I am missing something pretty fundamental.  Thanks in advance for your help.  Margaret

Here is the code to the website (http://www.orionconsultinggroup.net)
