My links will not change colors when I hover over them and I've looked over my code and other question like this and nothing seems to work and my code is type correctly. I would love if some one could get back to me ASAP so i could have this done by Friday thanks a lot.

17,956 PointsOn line 17 in your index.html you will need to put parenthesis around the class name "selected" where it is declared. Also, on line 36 of main.css i think you may need to put a comma between nav a.selected and nav a: hover since you are declaring the same rule to both elements.
I hope this helps!

a:hover {
color: blue;
}

14,849 Pointsyou are declaring wrong the hover state, if you just want the the selected item to have a hover go like nav
a.selected:hover{ color:#32673f; }

16,923 PointsHere are a couple changes that need to be made on your index.html and main.css files. Line 17 of the index.html is missing "" around the class selected.
index.html: line 17
<li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li>
Line 36 of the main.css is missing a comma between the two declarations and you need to remove the space between the a:hover.
main.css: line 36
nav a.selected, nav a:hover {
color: #32673f
}
