Why do all my links turn purple when only clicking one?

All of my links in my body HTML turn purple after clicking just one. My footer is working separately and doesn't turn purple. What wrong here? all links are coded with <a href="#">Link Text</a> Is it the # that is messing it up?

Short answer: yes. All of your links have the same destination, which is why they all show visited once you click on one.

Perhaps you have already activated the links? I noticed that after all my fiddling around, every link on my page was tested and changed. I'm not sure how to revert them back yet.
