.main-header{ box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa; box-shadow: inset 0 0 60px firebrick; }

Couple of things going on here.

First. the semicolon between the two box shadows needs to be a comma instead. Second there is no need for the second box-shadow: just remove it and the comma will be enough.

like this

.main-header{ box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px firebrick; }

If this answer helped, please remember to award best answer!

Happy Coding!

Wen Jie Lee,

I think that you mistakenly inserted the answer to your question into the wrong class.

There are two classes that are similar in this challenge. .main-heading and .main-header.

The answer that I gave you to your initial question should be in the .main-header. Like below.

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */ .main-heading{ text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31; }

.title{ text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740; }

.main-header{ box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px firebrick; }

This should fix your problem.

Happy Coding!
