I would rather say: Forget conversions. Start learning modern www authoring,
and design new pages well. "Cleaning up" existing pages is usually waste of
time or worse. As old programmers say: "There is always someone who rewrites
working code, to clean it up, or to speed it up." (The point is that Real
Programmers do something else, of course.)

It could also be "I took a paid job, please do my work for me".

Unfortunately parodies usually fail. It's not real code, in the sense that
it does not comply with CSS specifications: the symbol pink is undefined
(not a defined color name). Conforming browsers are therefore required to
ignore the rule. Besides, it is bad practice to set background color without
setting foreground color (and background image, to none or to some other
value).
