Look at your first CSS for links:

a { color: #6ab47b;

You are missing the closing }. It should be this:

a { 
  color: #6ab47b;
}

Thankyou! i cant believe i missed that , i also have another problem if you would be able to help

h1 { font-family 'Changa One', sans-serif; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 1.75 em; }

the sans-serif is in red and i dont think the font has changed

The error is in the way you are formatting your CSS. Always:

selector {
  property: value;
}

Notice you need a colon : between the property and value, and always a semi-colon ; after each value. There is an error in your h1 and that's why it's not changing the font.

No it should be:

h1 { 
  font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif; 
}

The property is font-family, the value is 'Changa One' or sans-serif. See here:
