nav a:hover {
color: #32673f;
}

nav a:hover { color: color-value; }

7,315 PointsI seem to be only a few videos further along than Maria and am having trouble. I wonder if you guys can help as well.
I am following the tutorial for how to add a new page to a website. The "About" page that Maria was referring to. As instructed in the video, I start by creating a new file called “about.html”. Copied the code from index.html (home page) over to the new page. In the nav of the (index.html), I changed the selected class to the About list item, etc.
I then white the paragraph exactly as instructed. When I review the work in the Workspace, the paragraphs I now write in the "About" page are all white so can only be seen if I highlight the area. Why is this? I can not figure this out. I am sure I have done everything as instructed in the video but still get no success.

Courses Plus Student 462 PointsI'm still confused as to where I put this? I've been searching in my CSS file for "nav a" and found three hits. The first one is "nav a {" with "font-weight" and "padding" underneath. The next one is "nav a, nav a: visited {" and the last one is "nav a. selected {". Am I supposed to just add the word "hover" after "nav a"?
