Show text upon hovering

Hi Treehouse,

I'm trying to make some <p> text visible when one hovers over the image in which it is placed. Tried a few options and they don't seem to work.

The pen is here: http://codepen.io/reskk/pen/KgygBO

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your response. For some reason the Treehouse notification system is very delayed atm so I have only just got this. In the meantime I figured out the solution - being able to select a subclass within a pseudoclass, i.e

.pic:hover .pictext {}

Whereas before I was trying to do this:

.pic:hover { .pictext {} }

Which clearly wasn't working.

I appreciate your help though!

Cheers,

Rik
