Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.

My code:

<style>
   h2 {color: blue;}
</style>

<p>Kitty ipsum dolor sit amet, shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff.</p>

Thanks for reporting this issue @Randytran0411 .

I fear that you have misinterpreted the instructions:

Delete your h2 element's style attribute

means that if this was your original code:

<h2 style="color: red">CatPhotoApp</h2>

Get rid of the style=".." portion and/or change it according to the lesson's requirements.

Next time you have difficulties please don't hesitate to ask for assistance in one of the official chat

---

To help you clear the concept; with your code:

<style>
   h2 {color: blue;}
</style>

<p>Kitty ipsum dolor sit amet, shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff.</p>

You're asking the browser to make the h2 blue .... but there's no h2 in your page to be colored.
The style only set an element's appearances properties, but you still need to have them declared in your body section.

I am having precisely the same problem. I followed your instructions to the letter (I already had before even coming here) and the error still reads, "Your h2 element should be blue."

When I click on "help," I am sent to gitter where I attempt to sign in with github. When I click on the "sign in with github tab, nothing happens.

I have the same problem

Remember you have to edit the h2 first...

CatPhotoApp

This edited line will remain in your code.

The next step is to add the style block at the top of your code.
the style block will point to your h2

Did you close the <style> tag?

Yes...

Had an issue with this, solved it by disabling any userstyle extensions (Stylus, Stylish, or any "dark mode" extensions). Turns out your userstyle affects how freecode evaluates your excercise. Hope it helps!

Thank you very much, the first result in google wasn't helpful. But your advise solved the problem immediately
