In here Dane, I would define h1 so it could be used anywhere. Then I would 
have .red so when I wanted h1 in red, I would use h1 class="red". For me, 
it's easier to keep track of because I may decide down the road to have red 
text, and then p class="red"  or td class="red" would work too and I 
wouldn't have to update the CSS with a new class.

Why not? Other than that there's no other definition in your example, they 
should work:

a.onblack:link { color:black}
then a class="onblack" href="somepage.html" should turn the link text black

Also, if you're ever curious about whether or not a CSS class will work, 
try the w3c validator and click to CSS -- it will analyze your css, tell 
you what's wrong and then print out a lovely, valid sheet -- just be 
careful with the *valid* sheet, if you did something wrong, it will throw 
it out. But there have been many, many times when the CSS validator has 
saved a handful or two of hair.
