I don´t get the hover function

The hover function is not working. How do I write the code?

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

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

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

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

p {
  color: #000; 
}

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

Hi David - the way you have written the following code:

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

This code makes both you link color in the nav the same as the link cover when you hover over it, so technically you wouldn't see any change in color on hover. Try separating out those two selector and giving them different values to see what you can do with the hover property. The code you have written is correct though in structure.

I put together this little Codepen to show you hover - I have commented out the css in the same format as you have used which makes both the link color blue normally and on hover.

Hope this helps.
