Font size 3 will actually make the font smaller that what we have now
which is 19px. Size 4 is about the same but slightly smaller than 19px.

You can see it here...
http://www.fire-serpent.org/fscnew/current/tantra/03matgod.html_text.html

First paragraph is set directly in html. Which should be
the same size as "large".

Rest is set "mediun" in CCS.

I have set the class "exper" in CCS.

.exper {
 font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;
 font-size: small;
}

> The transcript font can remain italic, but how does it look in palantino?

.trans {
 font-family: Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Georgia, Palatino;
 font-size: small;
 font-style: italic;
}

.quot {
color : #000066;
font-family : Times New Roman, Times, serif;
font-size : medium;
font-style : normal;
font-weight : normal;
line-height : normal;
text-decoration : none;
}

I have set it this way.
<div align="center">Jacob Solomon in 
"Time Enough for Love" By Robert Heinlein.</div>

I have copy&Paste the liks at the bottom. Let me know if you want
border line <hr> or anything else.

Done. PLease Check.

Done. PLease Check.

Is this ok? Should I copy the 07grnd.html into the Current folder then?

Font size is set to 2.

document.write('<a class="navlink" href="#" 
onclick="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite(location.href,document.title)">');
 document.write('Bookmark this page! (Add to 
Favorites) </a>');

Done.

Which blue?

Done. I have added only one at the bottom of the content of each box.

I hope I explained well enough for you to understand what I did here..
