Your CSS (stuff between the <style> tags) syntax is bad. It should be selector { property: value; }.
Beyond that, you don’t have the p element selected in your CSS.

I guess I will start all over cause that doesnt make sense to me. I went in order with all the assignments and then all the sudden it jumps to something that i dont understand. was fine till now

ashleychristopher,

Your <style></style> syntax is bad, as 3gimpfingers suggested.

If you re-read the lesson you will see that they want you to add the font-size to the p tag, not add an H1 selector. Your code should resemble something similar to this:

<style>
    .red-text{
        color: red;
     }
    p{
        font-size: 16px;
    }
</style>

<h2 class="red-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>

<p class="red-text">Kitty ipsum dolor sit amet, shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff.</p>
<p>purr jump eat the grass rip the couch sratched sunbathe, shed everywhere rip the couch sleep in the sink fluffy fur catnip scratched.</p>

What you’re doing here is creating a new style definition for the <p> tag. All <p> tags will now have a font-size of 16px on that page.

In your code sample you copy and pasted the text from the lesson regarding the H1 and didn’t really follow what they are asking. A <style> definition should resemble this layout:

selector {
   property: value;
}

Let me know if that clears it up a bit for you.

  missing this... "Your p element should contain the first few words of the provided additional kitty ipsum text."
