3rd Step not Responding

When I get to the 3rd step I am unable to enter any code to the CSS file...

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Flexbox</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="main-wrapper">
        <header class="main-header">
            <ul class="main-nav">
                <li class="main-logo"><h1><a href="#">My Work</a></h1></li>
                <li><a href="#">Design</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Coding</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Writing</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Hire Me!</a></li>
            </ul>
        </header>
        <div class="content-row">
            <div class="primary col">
                <h1>I'm a Designer</h1>
                <p>I design beautiful user interfaces, then bring them to life with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I love including personal photographs of nature, people and everyday things in my designs.</p>
                <p>If you need a front-end designer for your next project, <a href="#">take a look at my work</a>, then <a href="#">get in touch</a>!</p>
            </div>
            <div class="secondary col">
                <h2>I Also Write</h2>
                <p>I like teaching others about the latest web in technology. So when I'm not designing or coding websites &amp; apps, you'll find me writing <a href="#">articles for my blog</a>.</p>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

Hello Devon, The third step is working fine, maybe u did something wrong when answering the question. This is the correct code for all 4 steps of the challenge

@media (min-width: 611px) {

    /* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
   /*first step*/
  .main-nav {
    display: flex;
  }
   /*second step*/
  .main-nav li {
    flex-grow: 1;
  }
   /*third step*/
  .content-row {
    display: flex;
  }
    /*fourth step*/
  .secondary {
    order: -1;
  }
}

In the 3rd step I seletected the content-row class and set its flex formatting context by giving its display property the value 'flex'. If i managed to help u, mark my answer as the best
