I dont get it. What do you want to do? Explain it.

"I want some different looking text/color on some of my pages"

And then why don't you use another class?

Why dont you just go into the .css file that you currently have and just change the values? you'll be able to see how it works and you should be able to make the changes you want... if not, theres a client-side category here for help.

I would have to create new values. Because the current ones change alot at a time. Understand?

Once you want to get into learning styles a bit more, be sure to check out http://www.alistapart.com/. All kinds of useful crap there, but some of the articles are moderate heavy reading.
