Tell us what’s happening:
“Between the style tags, give the p elements font-size of 16px. Browser and Text zoom should be at 100%.”
How would i make this target p elements?

Your code so far


<style>
  .red-text {
    color: red;
  }
</style>

<h2 class="red-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>
<main>
  <p class="red-text">Click here to view more <a href="#">cat photos</a>.</p>
  
  <a href="#"><img src="https://bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat" alt="A cute orange cat lying on its back."></a>
  
  <div>
    <p>Things cats love:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>cat nip</li>

Hi there. I think this is what you’re looking to do in the CSS.

Also, your h2 tag has the same class-name as the paragraph. So, you should assign different class names in order to target the p element.

p { font-size: 16px; color: red; }

could you explain more? sorry, this css is mixing up everything ive learned.

Sure. So, let’s say you want both the h2 and the p elements to be red, you can simply assign the same class name to both which would be .red-text. This will make both elements red if in the CSS you write something like .red-text { color: red;}. However, if you want to change the text size of just that one particular p element, you need to add an additional class name or id.

So, your HTML would look something like this: <p class="red-text bigger">I am a paragraph</p>, and then your CSS for the bigger class name would be this: .bigger {font-size: 16px;}.

This way your font size of the paragraph is 16px and the color is red.
