You're confusing elements with which you markup a page, and selectors you
use in your stylesheets. [.footer] Is a selector. A class selector to be
more specific, as #footer would be a selector for an id. p Is just a
selector, in this case to make the styles applicable on all parageraph
elements in a html page. Those paragraph elements you mark up with tags
like <p>In here you can put the text for a paragraph.</p>.
Selectors, elements, tags. Different things and because creating pages and
layout quite technical, it is a good thing to use these names correctly.
