@media (max-width: 768px) { .title { font-size: 1.4rem; } .h1 { font-size: 5rem;

I have tried this a number of ways, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

style.css 
 @media (max-width: 1020px)  {
   .main-header {
     background-color: tomato;
     color: white;}

   @media (max-width: 768px) {
     .title {
       font-size: 1.4rem;
     }
      .h1 {
         font-size: 5rem;
       }
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->

Hi Lesley,

You're very close, just need to change two things:

  • Add a closing curly brace to both media queries.
  • Select the h1 element, not an h1 class. A period before h1 signifies a class. Remove the period to target the element.
