Hi Arlene,

In order to set the text color of the a links in the nav element, you use a colon (:) as such.

Here is the correct code: ... h1, h2 { color: #fff; }

p { color: #000; }

nav a { color: #fff; }

nav a:hover { color: #32673f } ...

Hope that helps!

Thank you Jarrett. That did work. Part of my problems is I had closed my workspace before doing this. I won't be doing that to soon.
