Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsI think I finally get it now. The blue Tim is talking about is the default blue text that unvisited anchor text receives.
Styling hasn't been applied yet.
The problem is with your markup. Your closing a tags are incorrect. You have <a/> and it should be </a>.
I think this is causing your paragraph text to not be part of the link and so it doesn't receive that default styling.

20,597 PointsIt's because you put the texts in paragraphs rather than anchor elements

42,016 PointsTunde Adegoroye that might not be it. I think the text exists as a description of the image, not a link to it. the image itself is a link to the image file.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsTunde, in this case the paragraph is supposed to be part of the link which is ok with html5
