Try changing... p, ul a: link {... to p a: link, ul a:link {... You have to *connect* the second selector to the first in every instance of a combined declaration. In the first case you are styling the *p*, not the *p a: link* BTW, you have a few HTML validation errors, mostly because you need to change *&* to *&* in line 91.
