selector {
property-name: value;
/* repeat as needed */
}

231,236 PointsPut that in the styles.css tab and it should get you past task 2.
For task 3, you'll need to add a property name and value. In this particular case, it will be a special shorthand property and it will have multiple values.

231,236 PointsTake another look at the structure example. The lines inside the rule should have a property name, then a colon, then the values(s), then a semicolon. You've added the values but you still need all the rest.
