Hi Steven,

It is asking you to target the anchor tag.

<a> is not a class, so you don't prefix it with a period. Also you need to remove the space before the double colons.

a::after {
  content: attr(href);
}

Also, take a look at your code for the first few tasks. You terminated the "content" value with a closing curly brace instead of a semi-colon and now you have a bunch of code outside of the targeted selectors that don't belong to anything. I'm not sure why it passed in the challenge, but if you were to do that on your own project you would end up with a lot of things not working like they are supposed to.

Good luck.
