CSS How to Make a Website Customizing Colors and Fonts Use Color in CSS

I tried to get the anchor text color to change, but the portfolio links stay the same color. What should I do?

My portfolio color remains purple because it was previously clicked, but my my other links are still blue. I created this in CSS:

nav a, nav a: visited { color: #fff; }

I can't figure it out. Only problem I've experienced.

Help please.

Will,

Try removing the space after the colon in your pseudo-selector? If you've copied the code straight to here, you currently have:

nav a: visited {
}

...but you want:

nav a:visited {
}

For more information on the :visited pseudo-class, check out the MDN page to see if maybe you have conflicts elsewhere.
