thanks Michael. The task is "Set the size of your H1 to 1.75em and the weight to normal." and I don't see what's wrong with my H1.

Besides that I don't see any other problems either, it should work once you close the tag. Your CSS is good.

I see up in the head the area where you wrote <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,700,700i,800" the end tag ">" wasn't closed.

I just went through the challenge using your code as a guide, and the only thing I did differently was include the rel tag in your link element for the google text:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,700,700i,800">

Mike - have the rel tag at the end. I moved it to the beginning and it worked. Odd - after submitting each task, my old code without the rel statement was removed each time.

Thanks for you help everyone.
