Hi Chris,

Pay attention on where you are writing the media query. Media queries go at the bottom, unless we create a dedicated stylesheet for them.

Hope this helps!

Hi Micheal,

I did just what you suggesting and it still asking if I change the h1 font size. at the bottom of the page

@media and (min-width: 480px) { h1 {font-size: 2.5em ; } } Im not sure if this help

Check for the curly braces and spaces. You are wrapping the value of the h1 with curly braces and there's no curly braces for your media query.

It should be something like this:

media query {

element {
      font-size: 10px;
}     <------ ending what's inside the selected element

}        <----- ending what's inside the media query

Another thing I noticed you didn't do is to write @media screen and in your media query.

Basically, it should be something like this:

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

     h1 {
       font-size: 2.5em; 
    }

}
