Great email on CSS Darrell.  This is an area that many people have just
thrown their hands up in the air because the browsers never fully supported
the whole spec.

Once you get the hang of it, all your formatting can reside in one little
file.  If you want to change all the fonts or colors or backgrounds, you
edit one file only!  This really saves me time and is much better than
searching and replacing all the pertinent tags through all the pages in a
website.

If you don't want to devote the effort to learning and coding CSS by hand,
get a copy of Topstyle Pro at http://www.bradsoft.com which also takes care
of the different version hassles you can run across.  They have a free
version too, but its not quite the same.
