Yes, I agree with Randell - the better the question, the better the answer. But I took a look.

You have misunderstood the instructions

Replace the value of your a element’s href attribute with a #, also known as a hash symbol, to turn it into a dead link.

You intepretted it as this:

<# href="http://www.freecatphotoapp.com">cat photos</#>

You’ve replaced the as with # but it’s the url, the http://www.freecatphotoapp.com that you need to replace. You need something along the line of:

<a href="#">text here</a>

That is the format of a dead link - you just need to replace the “text here”. Or you can use the original and replace the url with #.
