Hello Janet,

Your problem has to do with the order in which the rulesets are 
written. Because you have a second a:visited after the a:hover, the 
a:visited color overrules the a:hover (as well as the first 
a:visited.) The correct cascading order for pseudo-classes is:
:link
:visited
:focus
:hover
:active
