Are you asking how to create the "intro" class in the style sheet, or how to add a class to an element?

Hi Richard,

If you look up at line 10 or line 13, you will see the syntax for adding a class to an element. The challenge just wants you to add the class "intro" to the p tag. You do this with the key word "class" and = sign and the value in quotes (all with no spaces).

<p class="intro">

Welcome to Treehouse and Keep Coding! :)

Hey Richard! To give an element a class in HTML you just type Class = " Name of Class " Here is how the code should look on line 14. 

<p class="intro">

Quick tip: try using a more descriptive title in your post, as how do i do something doesn't really let anyone guess what the post is going to be about.

I know you already got your answer, but in the future, you'll probably get quicker help if you are more specific about your title.
