I just noticed my body tag had some stuff missing! Here's my body tag now:
PHP Code:
<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#ffffff" id="all" leftmargin="10" topmargin="10" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" link="#ffffff" vlink="#ffffff" alink="#ffffff"onload="preloadImages();">
Now the links aren't going to default, just the hover color isn't working. I feel like I'm getting closer. Talking to myself ...

no laughing
