4,862 PointsChallenge will not accept my answer, adding multiple box shadows to one element.
Just like the text-shadow property the box-shadow can take multiple comma-seperated values to add additional shadows to the same element. Let's give .main-header an inner-shadow with a second set of box-shadow values. Set the new shadow's horizontal and vertical offsets to 0, the blur radius to 60px, the spread radius to 5px, and the color to firebrick. Don't forget to include the keyword value that creates an inner box shadow.
3 of the challenge answer is correct as:
.main-header { box-shadow: 0 0 60px 5px #aaa; }
but when I add the inner-shadow element to #3 and check my work it says Oops! It looks like Task 3 is no longer passing.
.main-header { box-shadow: 0 0 60px 5px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5 px firebrick; }
What am I doing wrong?

28,407 PointsLooks like you changed the box-shadow that you added in challenge 3 instead of just adding a second inset box-shadow separated by a comma:
.main-header {
box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}
Also, make sure there isn't a space between the number and the px.

4,862 PointsI noticed that and updated it, however, I still get the message (OOPS! it looks like Task 3 is no longer working), this is how the code looks now for the 4th part of the challenge:
.main-header { box-shadow: 0 0 60px 5px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick; }

Courses Plus Student 17,662 Pointsi found your problem, somewhere along the way you changed the first box shadow from the settings they asked for. try:
.main-header{
box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}

Courses Plus Student 17,662 Pointsif this is exactly what you're writing, then there is a space between the '5' and 'px.' this would definitely cause and error.
