copy and paste this and see if it works. Also, I see you have stuff between your style tags in your html. Try removing that. Also notice that my line-height is only set to 1.6 and not 1.6em. Just things I've noticed. I hope you get it!

1,941 PointsHey Todd, Thanks again for your help, I took out the stuff in between my style tags and tried the code you said to copy and paste, still no go, I am not sure what to do, I have looked at all the other forum posts and tried copying what other people have tried, nothing seems to want to work :( I tried to contact support too to see if maybe there was some odd bug, they just told me to try the community forums :P I don't know why its still caught up just on the bold part, I keep spell checking it too, thought maybe I was flipping things around... nope!
.intro { font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6em; }
.intro span { font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; }

Make sure you haven't made any alterations to your html file other than the first task of <p class="intro">
Maybe try to restart the challenge?
