Vickie...

You missed a semicolon after "color:#FF0000" in the following:

    A:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: #FF0000; font-family: Arial}

Just as an aside, you might want to keep your color choices within the
"Netscape palette" to avoid your page looking different in some browsers
than in others... this palette includes only the RGB colors: 00, 33, 66, 99,
cc, ff.  But this may not work with your overall page design as it is right
now.

Anyway, add the semicolon and give it a try... hope this helps you out.
Good luck with your design!!
