Okay. Pick a color for visited links:

One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven

With a little javascript you could rotate through them.

I think three has the best ratio of [readable]-to-[matches with the rest], plus it's subtle against the brown of the unvisited link, but not too subtle.

Two and four would've worked too, though two might be a little unreadable.

BTW why does the "Add a New Comment" lights up on hover-over, even though it isn't a link?

(Just kidding about the Javascript)

I like Three and Four. What's with the pink on the # of Posted Comments?

I see no pink, except all links should turn pink when you place the cursor over them. What brower are you using?

I vote for Four. My philosophy is that visited links should have kind of a washed-out, faded color. Unvisited links should be more vibrantly colored, like One or Three. And your link mouseover colors look more yellow to me than pink.
