Not sure why my code isn't correct here for turning visited links to steel blue?

a:visited { color: steelblue; }

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
a:visited {
  color: steelblue;
}

Hi Dan,

The above is correct. I think the issue may be that you have deleted the css from the previous task maybe?

Hope this helps, Shaun
