I tested the below code on that challenge and it worked for me, all I did below was fix the href typo.

which test on the left hand side are you failing on?

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style>
  .red-text {
    color: red;
  }

  h2 {
    font-family: Lobster, Monospace;
  }

  p {
    font-size: 16px;
    font-family: Monospace;
  }

  .thick-green-border {
    border-color: green;
    border-width: 10px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-radius: 50%;
  }

  .smaller-image {
    width: 100px;
  }
</style>

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

from what I can tell the cat photos anchor doesn’t have an href value. I’m not positive this is the case, as the html was rendered. If you mark it as code, I can tell you for certain, but:

what I am seeing is
<a> cat photos</a>
it should be:
<a href="http://freecatphotoapp.com"> cat photos</a>
