Yeah, I am totally stuck here lol.

Create a new rule that targets the span element inside .intro. Give the span element a bold font weight and an italic font style.

I'm really not sure what wrong here. Any tips?

.intro span { font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6em; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; }

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p class="intro">
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> 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.
      </p>
      <a href="#more">Find out more</a>
    </div>
    <footer class="main-footer">
      <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
style.css 
.intro span {
font-size: 1.25em;
line-height: 1.6em;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
}

You turned the .intro element into one that targets the span within the intro class. You're supposed to make the second element altogether.

.intro {
  font-size: 1.25em;
  line-height: 1.6em;
}

.intro span {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
}

Nvm, I totally read that challenge wrong. Situation fixed.

.intro{ font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6; } .intro span { font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; }
