The challenge was to make the weight bold and style italic inside the span tag

Looks like you have the "intro" class on the wrong paragraph. It should be on the first paragraph, which is the one that has span tags inside of it.

Thanks for pointing that out! That never occurred to me. Gotta stay focussed!

.intro span { 
  font-weight: bold; 
  font-style: italic; 
}

Looking at your HTML code, that can't be right because there's no span with a class called 'intro'. The only spans I see are inside the header and inside a p.
