CSS is very verbose, e.g. to set the style of the font, you use font-style. To set the weight of the font, you use font-weight. You should also get used to the basic syntax:
selector {
property-name: value;
}

Courses Plus Student 3,017 PointsI'm not sure in which context the challenge question is being used but typically you'll have your index page with the class, in this case 'intro' which you were to already to have created. Then you have your CSS page where a . exists (showing that it is a class named intro). You simply go under that class name and type font-weight: bold;

.intro {
font-weight: bold;
}

Courses Plus Student 8,213 PointsNo problem, James! Tis true that no one really learns coding without some trial and error. Thanks for the link.
