Not Getting Blue Links After Deleting content from scaffold.css

I am on the frontend lesson for the simple ruby on rails application. I deleted the content from scaffold.css and added the twitter bootstrap files but the links are not blue like in the video. Can anyone help me out?

The videos are old and use an old version of Bootstrap. Lots of styles changed since then, so your results will differ from what you see in the videos. You can either find an older version of bootstrap or overwrite it with your own css styles.

Also, be prepared for problems with nil values in your database if you're using Rails 4, not 3.

It actually started working soon after

Either way, be aware that your results will vary depending on what you're using compared to the videos ;). Some of the things used in those videos don't even exist anymore (e.g. the way they make the statuses highlighted on mouse hover).
