CSS questions

Thu Feb 5 16:31:32 EST 1998

I've been experimenting with Cascading Style Sheets for some new pages
and because I just want to keep up!  I've been using the WDG CSS Guide,
but I still have a few questions.

Do I really have to include a background element everytime I change a 
text color for <H1>, or whatever?  Why, when the background is specified
in <BODY>?

How do I get the First Letter psuedo-element (as referenced in
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/structure.html#pseudo) to
work with my other <P> elements?  I copied the line straight from 
the example and stuck in it every position I could think of - it either
did nothing or wiped out all my other <P> formatting.  I'm using IE4.0
for testing if that makes a difference.

My files are at library.apsu.edu/dix/test.css and 
library.apsu.edu/dix/csstest.htm.  Thanks in advance for any help you
can provide!
