First of all, you've given both your heading and your h1 element the same class. the h1 element should be called .main-heading.

In your CSS you only need to write .main-header as this now only applies to a single element.

Hi Ernst, sorry I cannot help you with your query, I'm a newbie, only been with Treehouse for just over a week. What is am interested in is how you managed to create the screen shots for your html and css code? Cheers
