Duane:
Been there, done that a bazillion times. Try changing...
p, ul a: link {... to p a: link, ul a:link {...
You have to *connect* the second selector to the first in every instance of
a combined declaration. In the first case you are styling the *p*, not the
*p a: link*
BTW, you have a few HTML validation errors, mostly because you need to
change *&* to *&* in line 91.
