If you're trying to figure out why your font-size: 2.5em; doesn't seem to be working, we have to remember that CSS stands for Cascading Syle Sheet and that the changes flow downward from the top. Because of the nature of breakpoints, they are meant to change the site that already exists, and this means that they need to exist at the end of all your other styling (or their sheet loaded after our styles.css, if they are in an external responsive.css sheet all their own).

Or look below (cascading downward more) and remove the overwriting font-size of 1.75em

h1 { font-family: Changa One, sans-serif; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; }

Oh ... I didn't notice that there is one more h1 selector. Thank you all :) have a great day!

If you move your media query to the bottom of the CSS you should be golden :)

Hi. try this and see if it works

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

h1 { font-size: 2.5em; }

}

Thanks everyone :) I finally got it !
