Hi,

You just need to move your font-size and font-weight into the h1 section (where you have font-family).

At the moment, you are referencing #h1 and there isn't an id of h1.

So, remove

#h1 {
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

And replace

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

With

h1 {
  font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif; 
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

Hope that makes sense

You're also missing a closing > at the end of your <link> tag linking your normalize.css file
