<h1>Lake Tahoe, California </h1>

Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

<h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>

As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

7,596 PointsHi Tony, In your CSS you targeted the class main-content by using a period. All you need to do is swap it for the ID selector (#) so your code would read:
#main-content {
background-color: lightsteelblue;
}
Just a quick change out of ".main-content" for "#main-content"
I hope this solves your problem.
Happy coding!
