Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 1,922 PointsIs this an error in the exercise? It says margin then asks for a border. Or am I misunderstanding?
Do you always need a border when you have a margin or something? Thanks.
I put margin-top: 105px; in it for the record.

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.

As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of <a href="#mink">mink</a>, <a href="#bears">bears</a>, and <a href="#eagles">bald eagles</a>.

<h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
<p>
Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#hotels">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
<li><a href="#resorts">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
<li><a href="#lodging">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
</ul>

<h3>Pack Accordingly</h3>
<p>
One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
<li>Pack sunscreen</li>
<li>Carry extra water just in case</li>
<li>Pack light</li>
</ol>

11,927 PointsThey want you to target the primary content not the border.
Answer Worked for me..
.primary-content {
padding-top: 25px;
padding-bottom: 95px;
}

9,629 PointsMake sure you use semicolons ; )
Robert Bennett
11,927 PointsThe semicolons should be used at the end of the each code line. " padding-top: 25px*;* "

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 1,922 Pointshaha yeah I saw that too! I wish there was some way I could show you the error message I got though. It kept saying border not padding. I read it three times to make sure I wasn't going crazy, and then the question that asked for a border later had an error message about padding. I think they got mixed up on my end somehow! :(

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 1,922 PointsThat didn't work for me. I had that (and added the semicolons) and the error message said "make sure to add a border." Then I added the border and it told me to make sure the border was (some other border property) lol! Maybe I'm seeing things? A couple of my questions were mismatched I think.
