Change link colors in left nav column

I have been trying to change the link colors in the left nav column so they are different than the rest of the site links.

So I added this to my style sheet

#navColumnOne a:link {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    }
#navColumnOne a:hover {
    color: #ee7029;
    }
#navColumnOne a:active {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    }
#navColumnOne a:visited {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    }

It all seemed to work great but it seems that if you click on a link in nav column one then the hover effect stops working for that link. I am sure it is somthing to do with the way I have added the info to the style sheet but for the life of me I can not figure it out.

You can see the site here.

Thanks in advance.

I think figured out my problem. I changed the order of the code in the style sheet from

 
#navColumnOne a:link {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
#navColumnOne a:hover {
color: #ee7029;
}
#navColumnOne a:active {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
#navColumnOne a:visited {
color: #FFFFFF;
}

To

 
#navColumnOne a:link {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    }
#navColumnOne a:visited {
  color: #FFFFFF;
  }
#navColumnOne a:hover {
    color: #ee7029;
    }
#navColumnOne a:active {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    }

If some one could confirm that the hover effects are working after a link is clicked I would appreciate it.

Yep... working as you hope for me, anyway!

I looked earlier and have that to go by.

Thanks for looking!
