Is this a bug or have I just forgot to add something?

To target a single item by both tag name and class, the two names should be connected with only the period between them. If you fix that you'll pass.
However, for this challenge, you only need to specify the class itself to pass.

2,637 PointsThanks a bunch for your help. There are so many little things that can make your answer wrong. I have to keep track of that.
