Hi Angus,

You haven't exactly stated the error your experiencing.

Could you elaborate?

Thanks

This may just be from the code embedding on Treehouse but make sure that there are single or double quotes around any font names with spaces. Here would be the correct code for the H1 rule.

h1 {
  font-family: "Changa One", sans-serif; /* double quotes around a font name with spaces */
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

The other more critical issue is the last padding within contact info. The commas between the two zeros can confuse browsers. Remove that line and you should be in much better shape. Here is the updated code for contact info.

.contact-info {
  font-size: 0.9em;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
  background-size: 20px;
  padding-left:30px;
  padding-right:0; /* bonus tip, padding: 0 was already specified above so you can probably remove this line */
}

Much more useful than the help above is getting addicted to using a tool like https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator to analyze your code. Copy/paste and see what the tool says. ^_^

Cheers!
