When the mouse is hovering over the non-linked text, css effects appear.  These
effects are only specified for links, not text.  This has occured on other
pages.  I tested the page in Internet Explorer to see if I had the same results,
but it seemed fine there.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the website
2. Hover over unlinked text

Actual Results:  
CSS took effect on the unlinked text.

Expected Results:  
The text should've remained normal.

Th reason is that your css is not correctly written, as far as I can tell.

You use :hover instead of a:hover which means any text hovered above will have
that style. Now my guess is that IE as normal is not following stricked rules
and just does what it seems best. Anyway try doing that and I'm quit sure it
will be fixed.

I redid the css, and when I view the file all I see is :hover, not a:hover.
Another example of the css bug I've ran into is at
http://www.lissaexplains.com/, though it might just be human error on both
accounts.. hmm.
Thank you for all your patience.
