Post by AlanIf you have an editor you could save the page, go back and look for the <BG>
tag and change the color.
Heck, I guess you could do that with Wordpad too.

Go to the site, and if using IE 5.5 or later, select File -> Save As... and
save it in a directory of your choosing. Objects like pictures whose
file names are specified in the HTML will also be saved in a tree
resembling the HTML directory tree. For instance, if thispic.jpg
is served as <home>/images/thispic.jpg in the HTML code, then
a subdirectory called images will also be saved on your computer
and the subdirectory will contain thispic.jpg.
Then go to your direrctory entry for the home HTML page, and locate
the following line:
<body text="#3366FF" bgcolor="#000000" link="#FF0000" vlink="#FF99FF"
alink="#FF0000">
and change the text color to something like black with
text = "#000000"
and the background to something like white with
bgcolor="#ffffff"
and save it to a file with the extension .htm or .htm. You can open
the source file by clicking the right button in the client area and selecting
View Source.
In your Windows directory, this should show up as IE-type file, that is
one that can viewed by your browser. (You're using Outlook Express, and
therefore I assume you have IE.) Then double-click on it, and your
Web browser should open it back up with the changes and the
same features that appeared on-line.
You can also make the changes from View Source without saving the
file in a local tree, but you won't get any features that are present other
than HTML text.
Since the author is using free Web space, you'll get some pop-up ads after
you've
done the above. The Web host inserts code that calls them that you'll wind up
copying. I did not bother searching for it. The host will not know that you've
copied the files, but may have server-side code that knows that you
visited the page, because to do so, you had to provide an address where
to send the HTML data. This code will not be visible to you
the client.
It's easier to do than describe. I did the operation in approximately
30 seconds and then spent 5 minutes typing this post.
