Small Annoyances

Well, I think I've pretty much got a decent grasp of Dreamweaver. The templates are helpful, because I really wouldn't know how to organize my site without them. There's just a few things that are bugging me. First is the date thing. It's automatically included in the templates (or at least the ones I've been using) which, okay, fine that's not a big deal. But the date doesn't show up in Dreamweaver. I didn't know it was there until I was previewing my site on the Internet and a random date just popped up right next to my home page link. They were squished together because I hadn't been expecting something other than a date to go there. And I couldn't just delete the date either, or move it or the link away from the edge. I think that's built into the template, and I can change that, but I kind of wanted all the links to be in that same spot. Anyways, I finally figured out how to get rid of the date everywhere except the home page, where I don't have a link and so don't mind the date. I had to go into the code and just comment out the write date command. So really, it's not that big a deal, it's just a minor annoyance that I have to remember to do for each page.
The other annoyance is just plain weird. The default font colors for the template are green, grey, and red. I like the green and grey, but the red has to go. I'm pretty sure I've changed all instances of red font to a nice blue font, which frankly looks much better than the red ever did. But before I decided on the blue, I was testing out a pink font (making my website done in the same colors as my blog). I tested the pink on one of the web pages, decided I didn't like it, and turned it back to blue. While I was working with my first two pages, the pink was fully gone. So I kind of forgot about it. But when I created the next two pages, changed the red font to blue, got rid of the date, and previewed the page, what do I see but PINK FONT???? The links to return to the home page keep showing up in pink!! I don't know why, these websites never used pink, ther's no pink anywhere in any of the CSS rules, and the hover color is the correct blue, so I don't know where this stupid pink color came from but I don't appreciate it. Unfortunately, this is just a small issue, so I won't get around to trying to fix it until everything else is done, because two links just aren't that important.
