I think you may have misread the second instruction:

Inside the same tag that contains your red-text class, create an entry for p elements and set the font-size to 16 pixels (16px).

If I’m not mistaken, HTML elements tags don’t do anything inside the <style> tags (or at least they are not meant to!), so putting the paragraph <p> KITTY IPSUM TEXT: {font-size: 16px} </p> isn’t right.

Anything inside the style tags is meant to be written according CSS syntax, for example:

<style>
  h2 {
    color: red;
  }
</style>

The markup above specifies that you would like the h2 element (<h2>) to apply a color of red to its text, most things in CSS is formatted according to this syntax. If we take the code you have written for example:

<style>
  KITTY IPSUM TEXT {font-size: 16px}
</style>

I’ve already gotten rid of the <p> tags for reasons stated above and I’ve also removed the colon because it doessn’t make sense here.

The code still doesn’t work because you are saying that you want the KITTY IPSUM TEXT HTML element to have a font size of 16px—<KITTY IPSUM TEXT> isn’t an HTML element (well, at least it’s not a standard one), therefore you code doesn’t work.

I hope that helps!

still not working mate

Can you post all the code of your latest attempt based on what @honmanyau suggested?

To enter a code block into the forum, precede it with a line of three backticks and follow it with a line of three backticks to make easier to read. See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

Nowhere in the challenge instructions does it say to put the following in between the <style> and </style> tags.

<p> KITTY IPSUM TEXT: {font-size: 16px} </p>

The instructions do say to create an entry for p elements and set the font-size to 16 pixels (16px) and put it in between the <style> and </style> tags.

Also, you have a small typo on the in the first word of the p element’s text. It should be Purr and not Prr.

You should review the following challenge on how to create a css selector for an element.
