“Your spreadsheet should declare a red-text class and have its colour set to red”

I’ve tried a few times but no luck, anyone help me and maybe explain?

thank you in advance.

Your code so far


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

<h2 class="red-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>
<main>
  <p>Click here to view more <a href="#">cat photos</a>.</p>
  
  <a href="#"><img src="https://bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat" alt="A cute orange cat lying on its back."></a>
  
  <div>
    <p>Things cats love:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>cat nip</li>
      <li>laser pointers</li>
      <li>lasagna</li>
    </ul>
    <p>Top 3 things cats hate:</p>
    <ol>
      <li>flea treatment</li>
      <li>thunder</li>
      <li>other cats</li>
    </ol>
  </div>
  
  <form action="/submit-cat-photo">

Your CSS is setting the color to red on h2 elements. You have not created any classes.

thank you for your reply, I see what you meant and have sorted it, still learning slowly, thank you.

So, for you to declare the “red-text”, you must create the “red-text” class in your style element.
If you take a look at the challenge, take a look at the example they provide, hopefully that helps you.
