You have:
<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=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800'
link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>
Those last two link tags are what are messing you up. You're missing a rel="stylesheet" and a closing bracket on your first link. You're missing an opening bracket on the second link
It should look something like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800'>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
Ted Sumner
Courses Plus Student 17,967 Pointsif this is a code challenge, the problem is probably the extra line above the font-size.
The code challenges are exact because it has to match their answer.
Michael Jasinski
7,427 PointsI tried to move the spaces and make it more neat but nothing. is the code correct besides the spaces? could it be a glitch?
Marcus Parsons
15,719 PointsMichael, does it say "Bummer" on your end and if it doesn't, what does it say? I tried your code out with the white space you have, and I was able to pass the challenge. It's very strange that you can't.
Michael Jasinski
7,427 PointsIt does say bummer. So the code does work. I just tried t do it again, still the same thing.
Thank you to everyone for helping.
Marcus Parsons
15,719 PointsWhat is your "Bummer" message saying? And are you using this as your h1 code?
/* formatting from above */
h1{
font-family: 'Changa One' , sans-serif;
font-size:1.75em;
font-weight: normal;
}
Michael Jasinski
7,427 PointsI am putting what you have above, only difference is I don't have a gap in Family to Size. This is the bummer
" Bummer! Be sure you set the font size to 1.75em for your h1."
Marcus Parsons
15,719 PointsI just copied that from what you have in your code in your question. Can you copy and paste what you currently have?
Ted Sumner
Courses Plus Student 17,967 PointsCopy the whole code please. Sometimes you get an error because of a problem above.
Marcus Parsons
15,719 PointsAre you talking to MIchael and/or myself, Theodore?
