Oooops... ::blushing:: As Emily Litella would say, "Nevermind!"
You're right -- that's actually what I used on that page. ;)
Funny, I was just eating eggs... and now they're on my face!

Where did I use the style attribute... I know I had to use it
somewhere... ah, found it. I use it in the "navigation panel"
on my pages. Hmm... I suppose I could use class there also,
if I had to. I prefer to keep that area self contained, though.
I guess that's the value of inline styles -- so you can do
things like server-side includes, and it's all in one block.
