I have my links set up to show one color but they keep coming up as the default. I am using the following code. I don’t know why I can’t get this to show up properly.

a:link {  
color: ec00c8;  
text-decoration: none;  
}  
a:visited {  
text-decoration: none;  
color: #666666;  
}  
a:hover {  
text-decoration: none;  
color: ec00c8;  
}  
a:active {  
text-decoration: none;  
color: #ec00c8;  
}

idk if this will help at all, but u should probably hav the #sign before all your color codes and keep text-dec. and color in the same order, in a:link they are flipped
