Finally, target main-content with an ID selector. Add a background-color property and set the value to lightsteelblue?

main-content {
background-color: lightsteelblue; }

Hi Justice,

I find you didn't put ID selector which require to add # for ID.

For example: #main-content

#main-content { 
      background-color: lightsteelblue; 
}

If you find Classes selector, you will have to use . (period)

Happy Coding :)

You might have forgotten the hash before main-content - hope this helps!
