H1 margin and font-size not working

Hi, I am trying to remove the top margin of my h1 as well as change its font size, but nothing happens when I give it a margin zero or other margin value, and nothing happens when I try to change its font size. It is responding fine to other properties I give it. Here is my code. Can anyone help me please?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
     <title>Title of the document</title>
     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="test.css">
     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="normalize.css">
</head>

<body>

    <h1>Heading</h1>

</body>
</html>

h1 {
    background-color: lightblue;
    margin: 0 0;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 2em;

}

h1 { background-color: lightblue; margin-top: 0; text-align: center; font-size: 50px;

}

Does that change the font-size and remove the top margin?

are your style sheets in the right order? I think the normalize stylesheet is overriding your test style sheet. switch the order so normailze is first, than style and try it..
