Now add some nested sass that makes all <a> tags within <p>tags red.

Hi Yvone,

Looking at your code, I'm not sure where you got the .blog .entry classes from, but they are not needed. The challenge wants you to nest one style into the other. Your 'p' entry is correct, and the "nested" styling for the 'a' tags will go inside the 'p' styling (before it's closing curly brace. Remember when ever something is "nested," it's always inside of something else.

p {
  color: blue; /*styles the p tags to be blue*/
  a {
    color: red; /*styles the a tags in the p tags red -- notice the indentation to show a inside p */
  }
}

Hope that helps. Keep coding :)
