Yeah, im tired of the blue-underlined style for evry link or purple if already visited, so how can I have control over that, i've heard something about style sheets but how does that work?

Ok, if you want to use a specific file for the styles, you will need to call it from the html file using this line:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="theFile.css"  />

And then you will need to create the .css file. You can do it using any text editor, just remember to save it as .css file. On this file you can control all the styles that you use on your html document, aswering your question you might use something like this:

a:link{color: #ff00ff;
text-decoration:none;
}
a:visited{color: #ff00ff;
font-size:8px;
}
a:hover{color: #ff00ff;
text-decoration:none;
}
a:active{color: #ff0000;
}

Or you can add this previous code on your same html file, just make sure it is written before the <body> tag.

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
a:link........etc.
</STYLE>
