<code>In your CSS, apply your font to the first level headline using font-family. Include a sans-serif fallback. </code>

This is absolutely ridiculous I have been really patient either there is a bug or I have the wrong answers.

In your CSS, apply your font to the first level headline using font-family. Include a sans-serif fallback.

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;
}

This is my code untouched posed as the question.

Ok. So for example, if I chose the font "Quicksand" from Google Fonts in the first step of the code challenge, I would need to create a new rule in the CSS file targeting h1 and setting the font-family to Quicksand, sans-serif, because they want you to include a sans-serif backup. So your code should look like this:

h1 {
    font-family: Quicksand, sans-serif;
}

ok so target h1 separately in addition to the previous code and place a comma between the prime and backup fonts, Surely i have already traveled this route but i will try again.
