Using:
main a:visited { color: red; }
When you save your code and click the preview button, the page has the links in the visited state. Reloading the page doesn't reset the links, it still stays at the visited style, in this case red even though I haven't clicked on the links myself.

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Kirt Perez! I'm sure you've done a Google search at some point and clicked a link, then gone back later and done the same search and the link you previously visited is still marked in a purplish color because you've already visited it. This is a feature of the browser and its history. Workspaces is really only a text editor in this case and your code is being loaded into your browser.
Your browser knows that you've visited that link before, and so refreshing the page will have no effect on its status as already having been visited. You would need to clear your browser's cache/history for it to go back to an "unvisited" state.
Hope this helps!
