CSS is the spawn of evil computer code

Ow. Trying to figure out CSS hurts my brain.

I did, however, understand it enough to add a shiny header. The only thing I can't fix are the links at the top of the header (Recent Entries, Archive, Friends, User Info) though. You can barely see them after I messed around with the font size and colour. Any tips from those smarter than me? :-D

Of course, knowing me, all this hard work might be for nothing because tomorrow I'll decide I hate the header and toss it.

ETA: browncoat_2x2 is a CSS god. :-D Links are fixed. Thanks so much!
