Create a child selector to target the anchor element that is a direct child of the div. Set its color to green and font weight to bold. Have tried it others ways, like without the "."div. ````
.div > a { color: green; font-weight: bold; }

11,167 PointsMy bad, sorry about that...like I said-- I can barely make out parts of the display. I'll do the smart thing and wait til I get back on a fully fuctioning computer.

Hope you find the answer and get to move forward!

1,480 PointsActually, this answer (without ".") is just not working and I am unsure why. This is the second time that I've used my answer (that was also right according to others' feedback) and it will not pass. I above and here it is, cut and pasted. Again: ````
div > a { color: green; font-weight: bold; }

I've taken your css here and pasted it into the challenge and it passes.
Maybe you need to refresh the challenge. It seems rare but occasionally other students have not been able to pass a challenge with correct code.
