your anchor tag needs to be nested somewhere within the context of “click here to view more cat photos”, theres more to it but that should put you on the right path
<p>
This is text, <a>this is text inside a p element and is also a link</a>
</p>
<p>
This is another text, <img src="workplace.jpg" alt="Workplace">the image before is also a link</a>. I hope this examples will help you to understand the anchor element syntax.
</p>
The p element is a block element (it sits in a new line, because it takes all the available space, from left to right)
and the anchor, a, element is an inline element (like a word or a white space, it sits side by side with other words and inline elements, and only takes the space that its content needs).
