I like the yellow and blue idea. Is there a way to change link color in just one part of a document? Thats why I had oarnge (so the links would show up on both the blue and the yellow).
Or I may just reformat it like I did this part of the site (made later, when I had a better understanding of tables):

I was thinking of making the center column white, keep the side columns yellow and the background navy. That way I could make all the text navy and it would show up.
Just got to find time to do it!
