303 PointsSmells Like Bakin, Link Questions
Hey everyone, I've been slowly working my way through the Smells Like Bakin course, everything has gone well and I'm currently at CSS styling. One issue I have noticed is this. Once I changed the font color for my links they changed but the following was placed as a link as well;
[Cupcake of the week This week's featured cupcake is the Avocado-Chocolate Cupcake.]
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/BFDrK Here is my HTML, I'm not exactly sure what I did wrong.
P.S. Don't know how to put up my HTML without it showing up as text.
<div id="featured-cupcake" class="grid_7"> <h2>Cupcake of the Week</h2> <p>This week's featured cupcake is the <a ahref="#">Avocado Chocolate Cupcake</a>. Its strange combo of flavors will kick your taste buds into fiesta mode!</p> <img src="Espada/img/featured-cupcake.jpg"> </div>

303 PointsUPDATE: Continued through the lesson, when I was messing with the button I noticed it had gotten fixed. Not sure what exactly happened, but everything is working correctly now.

Add 4 spaces before of the each line of the code or put your code in http://codepen.io/ and post link here

Is this what you mean?
Felix Torres
303 PointsStill hasn't made a change. The links were fixed, but I still have the link color place on my title and part of my paragraph.
Alisha Anglin-Pagan
Courses Plus Student 1,957 Pointswhat folder is styles in?
Felix Torres
303 PointsI had Index.html on my desktop. Than Styles, was in a separate folder, I tried putting Index.html into the styles folder and it broke. So I put it back on my desktop.
Alisha Anglin-Pagan
Courses Plus Student 1,957 Pointsdid you change the link correctly when you moved it?
Felix Torres
303 PointsI noticed I hadn't done that afterwards, so i moved it and it was fixed. Though I'm still having issues with the title and paragraph. This is what it looks like.

Courses Plus Student 1,957 Pointsweird, and you saved the files and then refreshed the browser correct?
Felix Torres
303 PointsYes I did, thankfully the links are clickable and everything is fine. Though I have no idea why the color isn't being specific to the links in that area.
