How to change webpage link colour?

[Sita Atis]

It still didn't work.

I tried both methods. I already put one style in there and I tried putting both codes inside this style, I also tried putting it in a seperate style tag and the colour of the main link is still white link the menu link.

My code looks something like this:

<style type="text/css">  
    BODY { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; }
a:hover{
color:#C98A8E;
}
.Mint a:link {color:#515561}
</style>

and then I tried the div tag like Dr Unne said, and also putting the class inside the a href tag.
