I can't go ahed in this challege, is for me create a breakpoint for resolutions 480px and set h1 to 2.5 em:

my code

@media screen and ( min-width: 480px) { h1 { font-size: 2.5em; } }

what is wrong?

css/main.css 
@media screen and ( min-width: 480px) {
  h1 {
  font-size: 2.5em;
 }
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

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

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

.contact-info {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;

Yes the media query needs to go at the bottom. Carlos is saying he solved it by moving it there due to the cascading nature of CSS. CSS reads from top to bottom so any matching styles will be overridden by the style below the other.

Place your media query at the bottom of the file.

@media screen and ( min-width: 480px) {
  h1{ font-size: 2.5em;}
}

This worked for me, placed as the last operation in the .css file.
