Hi Suzan,

From what I see looking at your code it looks like you're on step one of the challenge. On this one you're looking for the paragraph tag on line 14 for adding the "intro" class. You'll need to move that class down to the paragraph tag just like you have it in the <div> on line 13. You might have to add the classes "primary-content" and "t-border" back into that <div> to satisfy the Code Challenge.

After that you'll probably be working in the style sheet for the most part.

Hopefully I've been able to steer you back onto the right path! :)

It's asking for the paragraph element on line 14 to have the "intro" class added to it, not the div.

im stuck too

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Lake Tahoe</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> </head> <body> <header id="top" class="main-header"> <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span> <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1> </header>

<div class="primary-content t-border intro"><p>
    Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
  </p>
  <a href="#more">Find out more</a>
</div>
<footer class="main-footer">
  <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
  <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
</footer>

</body> </html>

Ive tried making sure that the P tag remains on line 14, and added it into the DIV, I've tried deleting the original DIV on line 13 but nothing seems to work :(

thanks in advance,
