Please don't top-post.

Please get access to a public site and post your code there and a URL
here. Nobody wants to see all this code out of context. There are free
servers where you can put up a page for free, if your ISP doesn't
provide one.

Yes, did you not read my post up-thread? You responded to it.

Note the commas delimiting three selectors.

The delimiter is a comma. Between each comma you need the exact (full)
selector you want added to the list for the shared ruleset. So:

..nav-menu-side li a:link,
..nav-menu-side li a:visited,
..nav-menu-side li a:hover,
..nav-menu-side li a:active { color: #666666; }

How is this second attempt different from the first? I don't see it.

Two (identical) stabs in the dark. Get a reference and use it.

BTW, if you have identical rules for :link, :hover, and :active, you can
probably just specify a:link, a:visited and leave out the others, as
they are affected by the a:link selector.
