I just validated my page and got some information I am not
quite sure
what to do with?
Thank you for any advice on this!!!

Congratulations!
This document validates as CSS!
Then it goes on with warnings and I am not sure what to do
about these.
Ideally, should I fix these? Some of these I think are good,
such as not
repeating unnessesary information?
This is what I got:

Self explanatory: you gave a color but not a background-color
which goes
hand-in-hand.

Any font name with more than one name must be in quotes:
"Times New
Roman"

I've never seen these. Either someone has or use the W3C site
for lookup.

Opposite of first warning: you declared background-color but
not color

I get these too and drives me nuts. I've ignored as I want
the
colors/backgrounds so not sure what W3C wants
So it's not as bad as you think!
