In a basic Dreamweaver HTML page I set my page font color and my links font color to a blue with the number 336699 (from the swatches list, so I think it should be web safe) but when I test it, and now that I’ve posted the site, the body text font reverts to black and the link color reverts to a default blue. I’ve looked at the code and it seems the font color is coded correctly, so I don’t know what’s wrong. I built the site in Dreamweaver CS3 and am still using it. (The nav bar and the header area are swf files.)  
The site is posted at: [http://francesrinaldo.com](http://francesrinaldo.com)  
Any ideas?

The problem is that you are declaring the font color in style8 and not applying anywhere. Either change your style9 declaration to be this, or switch the p tags class to style8:

```auto

.style9 {
color:#336699;
font-size:13px;
}

```
