"Now we're going to learn how to change the color of our visited link text. And as we have it, we've got the text set to pink and then it changes to a kind of bluish purple whenever it is active and then it kind of defaults to kind of a plum color and we'll watch it again. It's really quick there's blue purple. We'll go back and now it's this default plum color which is just default for this computer. But we can change that, I'm going to clear my empty my cache, so I can refresh the page and the browser will forget that it was ever at the website and so we'll go back into our body bracket. We've got text, background color, link color, active link color, now we're going to do visited link color and the code for that is "vlink" and then the "=" a quotation mark and we're going to pick a visited link color, well let's do "660000" and then an end quote and we'll hit save on that. And it's going to change from this plum. I think it's to a dark red and so we've got the pink. It's an we've never been to this link before. It's going to flash the blue when you click on it, take us away from the site. We'll go back and I guess, let's try a different color than this dark purple. Let's go, let's change it to black because that'll be easier. Defaulting to purple so so we'll save that. Need to put another number sign. O.k. let's empty our cache again, refresh the page. You'll start off back at pink, going to flash the plum, take us away from the site. We'll go back, now it's black and that's our color for visited links."
