Add a hover state for navigation links that changes the text color

what is wrong with this?

nav a.selected, nav a:hover { color: #32673f; }

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

Looks okay to me...

Check your index.html make sure that your nav links look similar to this...

  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li>
      <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
