I’m stuck on step 12 with this… href http://freecatphotoapp.com
It’s saying it should be nested in the p element and I just don’t understand.
Please help.
Thank you,
Jane
**Your code so far**

Challenge: Learn HTML by Building a Cat Photo App - Step 12
Try restarting the step. This will return the original code which includes the p element back.
Once restarted, review this instruction:
In the text of your p element, turn the words cat photos into a link to https://freecatphotoapp.com .
This means that you are to add a link inside the p element. The link should make the two words “cat photos” become clickable. Let us know once you have tried this exercise again if you still need help with that.
I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.
You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.
great, you’ve created a link but now you just need to go and reset the exercise and this time do not erase any of the code that you are given. Just add code…
Once you restart the exercise it will give you the original paragraph, and if you add the link to that without erasing anything (a link nested inside the paragraph), it will be what the exercise intended.
no worries at all, I’m a few years older (also here learning)
Okay so you’ve restarted and at this point you have an html paragraph which looks like this:
<p>Click here to view more cat photos.</p>
If you look on the right-hand-side of your screen, there’s a preview page which shows these words right now. They are just plain text like this:
Click here to view more cat photos.
What we are trying to learn is how to turn the last two words of that sentence “cat photos” into a clickable link in the browser.
So as you know, links are made up of anchor tags. And anchor tags are made of three parts.
1- <a href="a link on the internet">
we call this part the start tag
2- some words that we want to become clickable
we call this the link text
3- </a>
and this ending tag
So thinking about the words “cat photos” and my three-part explanation of the anchor tag, which part do you think it belongs in? Part 1, Part 2 or Part 3?
so now looking again at the whole anchor tag in general we know it looks like this:
<a href="a link">some words we want to click</a>
We determined the words we want to click are cat photos.
Now we just need to find those two words in the original paragraph and carefully place a starting achor tag on the left as well as an ending anchor tag on the right of these words.
If we do it carefully enough, the words become a link and change color.

<p>Click here to view more <a href="https://freecatphotoapp.com">cat photos.</p>
<a href="https://freecatphotoapp.com">cat photos</a>
The link you created says “cat photos.” with a period right?
If you look back at the instructions, they are asking for the link without the period, so just move your right-hand-side (ending tag) so it does not enclose the period. (ps. I just saw that you didn’t put an ending tag yet. So just add that in carefully and it should work)
Finally if you look back at the steps you need to done one more thing after that… (should be an easy one, but let me know if not)
