Code challange says there is an error, but I cannot see where is should be.

Challange: Create a breakpoint for devices 480 pixels wide or larger. Inside the breakpoint, set the h1 font-size to 2.5em.

Error message: Bummer! Did you change the h1 font-size to 2.5em for devices larger than 480px?

Code: @media screen and (min-width: 480px) { h1 { font-size: 2.5em; } }

css/main.css
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  h1 {
    font-size: 2.5em;
  }
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

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

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {

Hi Michael

Place your media query at the bottom of your CSS, otherwise the h1 style will overwrite your media query h1 style.

Chris is right. This is due to the cascading effect of CSS because of the cascading the media query needs to be moved to the bottom.
