Take of the '/' in the first'<p>'

That's not quite right, that entire closing tag should be removed. See the code sample in my answer.

The setting is OK but the selector is missing the period in front of "intro" to indicate that it is a class.

Also, the HTML change has an error (that the validator seems to have overlooked so far):

      <p class="intro" </p>    <!-- error, has bits of an extra ending tag imbedded -->
      <p class="intro">        <!-- class correctly added -->
