Adam,

You can change the link colors, but there are a couple of issues involved.
A few browsers don't do it and the link doesn't change colors if the user
has been to that page(ie - the vlink doesn't affect those links). But the
way to do it is...

<a href="whatever.html"><font color="#rrggbb">Whatever</font></a>

The key is having the <font> tag inside of the <a> tag.
