I have been trying to figure out how to change the font in the links module as well?  I would like it to be Verdana, 12pt, Bold.  Any ideas (for a NON-programmer?)

You will need to edit the CSS file for the skin you are using, either select one that already exists and fits your needs, or add a new one. Then open up Links.ascx and change the CSSCLASS to the one you want to use from the skin css file. For example, to change the title font, you could do this..

In Links.ascx change

<asp:HyperLink CssClass="Normal" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Title") %>'

to

<asp:HyperLink CssClass="MyCustomCSSStyle" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Title") %>'
