The default colors for links are blue and purple for unvisited and visited links respectively. While this is standard, it might not fit the color scheme of your pages, so let's change it. In your styles.css file, add the following:
a:link {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FF9900;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited {
color: #FFCC66;
}
a:hover {
background: #FFFFCC;
font-weight: bold;
}
I set up three link styles, the a:link as the default, a:visited for when it's been visited, I change the color, and a:hover. With a:hover I have the link get a background color and go bold to emphasize it's a link to be clicked.
