Hi Robert, hard to help without seeing the original code. But here's what your CSS should be including based on the instruction:

.main-content ul {
    background-color: papayawhip;
}

It asks you to target the unordered list which is the child element of the main-content class, to do that you simply put a space after the class name and then the element name.

This what I believe I should have so far. Would the background color still be orange?

.main-content { }

p { font-weight: bold; }

Thank you Melissa,

Would you know about this question as well? I'm new to doing this.

Give the header element a class attribute. Then, set the class value to main-header. How to solve this?

Thanks for trying. The bummer reply keeps coming back to the question for ,..

Give the header element a class attribute. Then, set the class value to main-header. I'm not sure what is wrong.
