5,946 Pointsspacing in CSS rules, do they matter?
Does spacing play a role as far as stuff like this:
.main-header { font-size:72px; }
or would it be
.main-header { font-size: 72px; }
Also I recall using an equals sign instead of : sometimes...
font-size=72px;

And property names are always followed by a colon, never an equal sign.

You only put = sign when you add values in the html. In CSS you always use :
