I've followed the instructions, but as far as I am concerned I write blue, yet your interpreter does not recognize it

What of the 4 steps is this failing on. Since I don't see any code related to opacity I will assume steps 2.

This is how it should look. You need to close the P before opening another selector. This says direct children of p is blue. Close and move on. Oh all a are red. Ok so all anchor elements are red, except direct children of p which are blue. 

p {    
> a {
      color: blue;
     }
}

a {
  color: red;
 }

This should get you up to step 3. Let me know if this helps or confuses you more.

Thanks!
