I've also tried to create a new variable so that the message would go in there, so it would look like: var ageInSeconds = 'You\'ve lived ' + secondsLived + ' seconds.'; var firstMessage = ageInSeconds.fontSize(24); document.write(firstMessage);
Which did not work....

ageInSeconds.fontSize(24) should be ageInSeconds.fontsize(24).
fontsize is all lowercase

I also believe there is an easier way to make this code work: var secondsLived = age * secondsInDay * daysInYear; var firstMessage = "You've lived " + secondsLived + " seconds."; document.write(firstMessage.fontsize(7)); (you can larger font within document.write statement, instead of in a different variable first)

Example:
document.write('<h2> I\'ve lived for ' + secondsAlive + ' seconds! </h2>');
