Different selectors to style h1. Any reason for that?

I've noticed Guil styled the h1 inside the header two times, first using the h1 selector and after using the .name class. Why is that?

Hi there! The difference isn't really noticeable in this particular example. But imagine for a minute that you had multiple h1 elements on your page with top margins. By specifying the class to be used, you can ensure that only the h1 elements in that class will be affected by your rule instead of all h1 elements on the page. :sparkles:
