Hi Connor,

The problem here is that you haven't closed your media queries with a } character, media queries have to have an opening and closing tag like all other css rules (you also forget to close the h1 tag in your first media query). This is how your code should look:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

  h1 {
    font-size: 2.5em;
  }
}

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {

  h2 {
    font-size: 1.75em;
  }
}

Note the pair of brackets for the media query and the pair of brackets for the rules inside the media query.

Hope this has helped :)

You forgot to close your 660px media query, your 480px media query and your h1 inside of it. Try closing them and recheck if it works then.
