CSS Basics: Coding Challenge question

I'm stuck on Task 2 of the "Pixels & Percentages" Coding Challenge (step 4) in the Understanding Values and Units section of the course.

It asks to "increase the font size of the h2 element to 53 pixels". Now, in the HTML, the <h2> tag doesn't have a class selector attached to it, it just looks like this:

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

So I'm thinking I need to attach a class selector to it like this...

<h2 class="example">Check out all the Wildlife</h2>

...and then add the following to my CSS:

.example {font-size: 53px}"

But it's not having it! Any help would be gratefully accepted:)

Instead of add a class try

h2 { font-size: 53px; }

Hi Omar,

Almost there. Try selecting the h2 itself instead of the class. Like this:

h2 {
  font-size: 53px;
}

Thanks Elian, I'm not sure when we were taught this way of doing CSS, I feel like I haven't learned that method before, but I obviously missed something along the way!
