You're missing a closing brace after the .intro span rule. Just close out that rule and the rest should work.

Are you sure the link you are looking at is unvisited? The link that goes to #top is going to appear as a visited link because it is on the same page as the link itself (it links to an ID on that page). So you might want to add:

a:link, a:visited {
   text-decoration: none;
}

unless you really wanted the visited links to appear differently from the unvisited ones.
