My pages are not being selected when I click on them. ex: about page is not remaining selected when I am on that page.

<nav> <ul> <li><a href="index.html" >Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html" class="selected">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a> </li> </ul>

Perhaps you have some CSS or JavaScript that you use with this HTML code that is changing things?

This might be a good time to make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

I found this info for you; you probably need to add these features in your css:

The :hover selector is used to select elements when you mouse over them.

Tip: Use the :link selector to style links to unvisited pages, the :visited selector to style links to visited pages, and the :active selector to style the active link.

Note: :hover MUST come after :link and :visited (if they are present) in the CSS definition, in order to be effective!

example:

a :hover{
  color: cyan;
}
