It sounds like you've got all the bases covered. A class on the < header > element.

<header class="main-header"></header>

If you put those in for the first part of the challenge it should work. :-)

Hope this will help. :)

But treehouse is this not wrong?

In the code that is already provided there is already a </header> in the HTML

Using the code provided above will give you the right answer, but will close the header too soon and not actually put the desired content into the header!?!?

<header class="main-header"></header>
  <span>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
  <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
</header>

I am also stuck on this! I've watched the video about 3 times over. No luck. Has this been resolved?

Have you tried the answer above. It should work.

<header class="main-header"></header>

It sure has. the first angle bracket starts the sentence. We put header class, then an equal sign, then the quote, then main-header. then we close with the other angle bracket. It's done right after the word header and before the word span. make a line space and just put it in. That should keep your code clean.I hope this helps, even if the author's post is old.
