Applying font-family to h1

I think I did everything correct when applying font family to first level heading. Although I get bummer saying that I did not.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit | Designer</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700,300,800|Changa+One' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html" id="logo">

Marta,

Your code is technically correct, but these challenges are very particular in what they are looking for. The checks to see if what the user has entered can sometimes be very strict, so you'll want to make sure you don't change anything in the code that the challenge doesn't explicitly instruct you to. In this case, you'll want to keep the h1 and h2 declaration as it was, while simply adding a new stand-alone h1 declaration that only has the font-family property in it.

To illustrate, this is what I have that passes:

h1 {
  font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}
