Design a Blog Post Card - Design a Blog Post Card

Tell us what’s happening:

for the Design a Blog Post Card, I have completed all of the steps and passed all the tests except for some reason, the hover effect for the .read-more element is showing up on the console, but not passing the test.

I have the following for that in my code:

.read-more :hover {
color: black;
}
