Add the pseudo-element that will insert content after the element.

I am having trouble adding the url to the content. That is if this is the correct method to use.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.progbar a::after{
  content: attr(http://teamtreehouse.com);
  display: block;
  width: 50%;
  height: 100%;
  border-radius: inherit;
    background-color: #5ece7f; 
}

.progbar {

    display: block;
    width: 24px;
    height: 24px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    position: absolute;
    left: 49%;
    top: -9px;
    background-color: #7dd898; 
}

.progbar {
  height: 6px;
  border-radius: 3px;
  background: #d6d7d9;
  position: relative;
  margin-bottom: 3.875em; 
}

It's not clear what task you're on here. It looks like you are attempting task 4, but the work that should still be there from the previous tasks is missing.

Remember to observe the general hint included in every challenge: "Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task." So unless the instructions say specifically otherwise, the work you did in previous tasks must remain as it was when that task passed.

When you do get to task 4, the argument to the "attr" function should be just the name of the attribute being referenced (not its contents).
