Epic face palm...

Bought to find out! lol

Got the link for it?

Edit: Doesn't work.

Works for me in Google Chrome...

What browser are you using? It could be the way you're doing your links, as in, perhaps the individual classes on each link is overwriting and superseding your a:hover in your global style sheet

<a style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:1.3em; font-weight:300; color:#000";>

<p>The 1960's started with the Pittsburgh Pirates winning the World Series over the New York Yankees in 1960.</p>

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Bs8foFpXpwU?rel=0" frameborder="5" align="right" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<p>The final phase of the Parkway West project was completed as the Fort Pitt tunnels open on September 1, 1960. Prior to the opening of the tunnels motorists had to exit the Parkway West and go via the West End Circle and go across the point bridge to get to downtown Pittsburgh.</p>

<p>Civic Arena opens in 1961 and many events take place in the new arena. Ice Capades, Ringling Brothers Circus, WWWF wrestling and many concerts took place during the 1960's. The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra all performed there. In the late 60's KQV radio would present its "Shower of Stars concert series where you got to see 4 or 5 acts. Pittsburgh Penguins hockey was also played at the civic arena in the 60's.</p>

<p>Interstate 79 connecting Erie with Washington, PA, is completed by the late 1960's. "The Bridge to Nowhere" is finally completed in 1969 just in time for Three Rivers Stadium to open in 1970. The bridge was started in the early 60's and then a few years went by before it finally was completed.</p>

The problem is your putting some styles in the tag so it overwrites whatever you have in the css. So this

Code:

<a style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:1.2em; color:#000"; href="../../index.htm">Home</span>

should be

Code:

<a href="../../index.htm">Home</span>

and do that for all your a tags, but you're also gonna have to put all the attributes that were inline that we deleted in your css like this :

Code:

a
{
        font-family:Trebuchet MS;
        margin:1em;
        font-weight:900;
        text-decoration:none;
        font-size:1.2em; 
        color:#000
}

now if you do these in your css

Code:

a:link
{
}
a:visited {

}
a:active {

}
a:hover {
        font-size: 150% 
}

it should work. Also you didn't close your body tag properly you forget the closing >. Hopefully everything makes sense

I don't think you want this. You are setting links to 1.5em for all states, not just hover. You won't be able see any difference. On top of that, the_duke's note about inline styles is also correct. In general you should only use inline styles if you absolutely have to, and this is usually because they were set with JavaScript. Inline styles override all other styles except those marked with the !important flag (if you need to use this, you are almost always doing it wrong).

Ignoring CSS selector specificity*, styles get applied in the following order:

External stylesheets
Internal stylesheets (inside style tags)
Inline stylesheets (inside style attributes on individual elements)

The above is why we call them cascading style sheets. In addition to this, styles get applied in the order that they appear for each type of stylesheet above. If you set a:link to have a colour of #fff in an external stylesheet and later a colour of #000 (in the same stylesheet) then it will appear black.

*This can be even more annoying than the fact that styles are applied in a cascading manner. For example:

Code:

.footer a { color: #000 }

... /*200 lines of more CSS*/

a { color : #FFF }

According to what I said above, the latter rule will override the former rule. However, the browser will apply styles with a more specific selector after styles which are less specific, even if the less specific ones are further down in the file. This only applies to styles within the same stylesheet type. An inline style will still override a very specific internal or external selector. See the below example:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
html body.body a#link.black-link
{
    color:#000;
    font-size: 1.5em;
}
 a
{
    color:#fff;
    font-size: 1.5em;
}-->
</style>
</head>
<body class="body">
<a id="link" class="black-link" href="#" style="color:red">link</a> 
</body>
</html>

Despite the fact that I have a very specific (and downright ugly) selector in the internal stylesheet, the link will still be red. If the inline style was removed, the link would be black rather than red or white.

Specificity is a bit tricky. If an element doesn't get styled how you think it should be, use a tool like Firebug or Chrome's element inspector to see the styles being applied and which styles are being overridden by others. Both tools will show styles in the reverse order that they were applied, so the top-most styles which are not overridden are what you will see rendered.
