<<<Are we trying to help the less able users? Then the London Times is irrelevant.>>>

Not it's not. Less able users would never have found out that links are required to be purple. They're far better served by bright clear links -- given our background colour.

Re: Help : Just starting : Beginner

You can get distortion if the volume of the recording is too high. Watch the bouncing ball volume meter as you record and never let it go all the way to the right.

How about 230, 230, 230 in 255 rgb colourspace? That's 90% white. The header will be brighter, the links will stand out and everybody can sleep tonight.
