I am using my code in Notepad++ and although it's identical to Guil's, my links won't turn orange. This is the code:
a:link { color: orange; }
a:visited { color: lightblue; }
All links are blue and they won't change color no matter what I do. I tried Developers Tool and I couldn't understand what's the problem.
Here's how my code looks like.

18,425 PointsHave you clicked your links already? Your browser may have kept a cache of the site already and shows all the links as visited. I like to try to use /* mouse over link */ a:hover { color: #FF00FF; } to test these things as well.

8,897 PointsI found out what the problem was. It's the fact that all links are null links (with the "href="#" form). I changed them to real links and evertyhing works fine now. Thx :).
