I don't see what i'm doing wrong here?

Can someone help me get back on the right track?

css/main.css
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
p {
color: #000000;
}
nav a:{
 color: #fff
}

nav a.selected, nav a:hover{
color: #32673f;
}

The .selected part I put there, just to try and work out a solution..

It looks like your syntax the nav a selector is incorrect. You should be selecting...

nav a {

}

and then for the hover class...

nav a:hover {

}

hope this helps :thumbsup:

one mistake at nav a:{ color: #fff } need add the ; thing :). and looks like nav a:{ color: #fff; }

Hey Mitchell,

Remove the colon next to your nav a selector. That is not a correct selection unless you are going to follow that up with a pseudo class such as hover. You also need to remove nav a.selected for the challenge to pass.

Working solution:

nav a { 
  color: #FFFFFF;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673F;
}

Gotta stop adding my answers as comments! Lols!
