Hint: Check the spelling of the class name i.e. .card-title.

nothing showing.

<div class="card"> <h2 class="card-title">Background</h2>

CSS .card-title { text-align: center; border: solid black 3px; border-radius: 50%; }

Just in case anyone else runs into this and they've tried all the other suggestions:

I had checked the spelling, cleared cache, relaunched the workspace and just about every other suggestion that's posted here.

For me, I finally discovered (when trying to change the class name in the CSS file) to "h2" instead of "card-title" that there was an error. It was as simple as having an open curly brace { at the end of the last line in the rule above it.

So my spelling and everything in that particular rule was correct, I just hadn't closed the previous rule correctly.

It should say .card-title. If that doesn't work, try writing the HTML and CSS as code here. (see Markdown Cheatsheet)

I accidentally wrote "card title" in the HTML and "card-title" in the CSS, so it didn't show up. Just needed to add a hyphen. So make sure it's exactly the same!
