Steel Solutions

The Marketing Director at Steel Solutions is unhappy that the links on the company Web page appear in blue when unvisited and purple when visited, because those are the logo colors of their closest competitor. She has asked you to update the Web pages to use navy for unvisited links, olive for visited links, and red for active links. Create a Web Page similar to Figure 3-4 on page HTM 73 in the Shelley – Cashman textbook, with three text links to a Web page in an external Web site. Add the appropriate link attributes in the body tag to define the link colors as requested by the marketing director.
