nav a, nav a:visited; { color: #fff; }
Try removing it and see if it works.

Courses Plus Student 4,389 PointsIt worked thank you!! , theres just so much information to remember and take in, like where to put semi-colons and stuff haha

25,470 PointsDon't worry. We've all made and continue to make these mistakes to varying degrees =).
Keep practicing and you'll become better at spotting these typos.

Courses Plus Student 46,022 PointsI fixed your Markdown for you. :) Backticks are used to format your code; they're similar to quotes, but they're the key above the tab key, next to the 1.
EDIT: Also, you can place a string like
cssorhtmlorjavascriptafter the first set of backticks to get syntax highlighting.
