Auto customer: "I want to buy a new car."
Auto salesman: "We have this nice model with the hand-crank,
or this new one with an electric starter."
Your pixel site is the hand-crank variety. You haven't yet discovered
CSS. If you did know CSS, your site probably would not have that ugly
aqua background, for example.

Changing the colour would be fine, and even adding a hover colour is
nice, but changing the font size usually disrupts the flow of the area.
It also uaually looks silly. Consider using different fore- and
background for the current page.
What you *should* do is make the link inactive for the current page, so
visitors don't click it and simply reload the same page.

Perhaps I was too succinct. No, I'm generally not a flaming person.
