6,094 PointsI did the objectives for pseudo-classes now and it worked for me. It looked like this: a:link{ color:orange; } a:visited{ color:steelblue; } a:hover{ color:tomato; }
you can also look at the link from the HTML-file to the css file. sometimes the Connection can be wrong. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
or if it is in another catalog: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
Hope it can help! To me it looks like you have thought right.

7,190 PointsAfter spending much time on this ( a:link {color:orange} ) and not seeing orange, treehouse randomly prompted me saying my workspace stopped working and it was closed and when I re-opened, my pseudo classes were working. Maybe try closing and re-opening the work spaces. The spacing, format are no different than normal css selectors. As long as you have a:link, and follow regular css formatting, it should work. As long as you understand the concept I wouldn't spend too much time on this problem, just continue on with the video.

16,349 PointsIs your css linked correctly? Does anything else change with css? Could it be that those links are already visited and it's showing a:visited link instead?
a:link - a normal, unvisited link a:visited - a link the user has visited a:hover - a link when the user mouses over it a:active - a link the moment it is clicked
It's hard to tell without more code.
