I'd like to do something similiar to what is here - that is in the tdheaders with SUBJECT I'd like to have WHITE letters for the link; but in the navbar have BLACK letters. I cant seen to figure out how to create two types of LINK elements. Any help?

Can be done, will require some editing of the templates tho. You can choose to have your navigation a different color set and the links within something like:

.nav {
color : black;
font-size : 11px;
background-color : #CFD7DA;
}
a.nav , a.nav:link , a.nav:visited , a.nav:active {
color : black;
font-size : 11px;
background-color : transparent;
}
a.nav:hover {
color : black;
font-size : 11px;
background-color : transparent;
}

Then set the navigation area to class="nav" - the same can be done for other areas as well
