**yojimbo** , the color change is just the standard “visited link” change. If you create a link to any page you’ve visited, it’ll look purple for you, and if you haven’t visited it, it’ll look blue. Your first two stayed blue because you had a mistake in your coding somewhere, leading to nonexistant URLs. ---
