Due to the cascading property of CSS, this code

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

gets overruled by this one:

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

because it appears further down.

You can either move it to the end of the file, or, more correctly, move it to your responsive.css provided you have linked all your html pages to it.

I think the problem here is they want you to place the media query at the end of the css file, not the beginning. So simply just move your media query to the end of the file, and you should be good to go!

Hi,

You need to write media query in responsive.css. main.css is the first css that you created.
