Hi, can somebody tell me that, why Nick's contact links are green? My contact links are blue, like default. Is is normal? What do I miss? Thank's for the help! Balint

Could you possibly share your code?

Is the css enough?

You actually had change the color already, I don't know if it is that you were looking for. Nav a.selected, nav a:hover

You actually have your color in the CSS. Is something wrong with your HTML-file?

I don't think so, because the core things are working, and the html file doesn't do anything about the color. Any idea?

I found it! I forgot to change the color of the a (anchor) elements.... Of course.. But thanks for your quick response!
