css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

p {
  color: #000;

Hey There,

You are super close!

Normally whitespace doesn't matter in CSS... except when it comes to pseudo-selectors. When you add a space after the colon (before the hover), the browser doesn't know how to interpret this. Without the space, it knows the hover is attached to the <a> tag.

So just remove the space (and remember that's important) and you're all good to go! :)

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

Keep Coding! :dizzy:

With your nav a: hover there is a space between the a: and the hover, in css that causes an error, so the code refuses to run, if you remove the space, the code will work
