3,002 Pointserror on item 4 of the code challenge of the "finishing the CSS" section of "Build a simple Website" ?
In response to the directive: "Select the copyright using an ID selector and give it a solid top border that is 8 pixels thick and has a color of #2A0400."
I typed:
#copyright {
border-top: 8px #2A0400;
}
and received an error message. I'm not sure what my mistake is. Is this an error?

3,002 PointsThank you, I actually did put the # tag (hash tag) in my code. And it still didn't work?
BTW, do I need to do something special in order to get the hash tag to show up in my forum posts? Is that part of Markdown?

39,199 PointsStacey - I added markdown to your first post so your code shows up correctly.
Here are the directions again ...
Select the copyright using an ID selector and give it a solid top border that is 8 pixels thick and has a color of #2A0400
Can you see what you missed?
do I need to do something special in order to get the hash tag to show up in my forum posts? Is that part of Markdown?
Yes it is part of markdown, they are called code blocks.
- For multi-line code, indent each line of code by 4 spaces
- For inline like so
#copyright, then use backtick character ( ` ) at the start and end of the code snippet
