"discard the whole class="modifiedinfo" idea. Stick to the defaults when you can" - overall, I totally agree. I think I made 'modifiedinfo' before I installed Firebug and had a way to track down .wikitable information. I was going absolutely nuts, not being able to understand whyyyyyy .wikitable wasn't letting me color the cells! So I just said 'blahhh' and made another class. But yeah, sticking with defaults is better... if I can get them to do what I want ^_^

So yeahh I put in all the 'th' and 'th a' into the CSS and it wooooorks. Oh gosh thank you so much. So yeah, just gonna delete that modifiedinfo class now. class=wikitable, with these overrides, will do what I want. yaaaaay.

My previous forays into CSS didn't get much past just specifying a class in the css-sheet, and then applying that class to everything I wanted it to be on. This whole, ".D1a, D1a a (for links), D1a th (for header cells), D1a th a (for links in header cells)", this part is new to me ('You have gained 5 CSS experience points!'). Thanks so much for explaining ^_^
