/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media screen and (min-width: 421px) {
header {
background-color: #294969;
color: ghostwhite;
}
}
@media screen (min-width 769px){
.logo {
font-size: 1.4rem;

<h1>The verdict is in. CSS Layout is great!</h1>
<p>I’ve been working with CSS for a while now, and I have to say, it’s pretty awesome. I love being able to separate content from presentation, and to keep all my styles in an external stylesheet.</p>
<p>I’ve had a pretty good grasp on the basics for a while now, but I needed to learn more about how to control layout with my CSS. Understanding CSS layout meant first exploring the parts of the CSS box model.</p>

<h2>The CSS Box Model</h2>
<p>There are lots of great resources online to help you learn the CSS Box Model. I like the CSS Tricks article <a href="https://css-tricks.com/the-css-box-model/" target="_blank">The CSS Box Model</a> by Chris Coyier. To quote the author:</p>
<blockquote>At the risk of over-repeating myself: <strong>every element in web design is a rectangular box.</strong></blockquote>
<p>That’s right! Every HTML element is considered by the browser to be a rectangular box.</p>
<p>The CSS Box Model consists of four properties: content, padding, border, and margin. I've included a graphic from Coyier’s article to illustrate this principle.</p>
<p class="clear">It’s pretty easy to understand the Content portion of the box model. The content is whatever your HTML consists of. It could be a paragraph full of text, or a bulleted list, or an image.</p>
<p>Beginning developers may have some trouble keeping the other parts of the box model straight, so let’s examine them one by one.</p>

PHP Development Techdegree Graduate 48,638 PointsYou forgot to put a } after
h1 {
font-size: 4rem;
You forgot to put a : after min-width too.
You also need the word and between screen and (min-width: 769px). Finally, logo is an id not a class, so you should be put a # before it not ..

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsYou also need a colon in your width declaration for the 769px minimum width breakpoint. So simply do
@media screen (min-width: 769px){
}

PHP Development Techdegree Graduate 48,638 PointsPut the word 'and' between @media screen and (min-width: 769px).

Joseph Yhu
PHP Development Techdegree Graduate 48,638 PointsDoes your code look like this? I know this works because I've tried it myself.
@media screen and (min-width: 769px){
#logo {
font-size: 1.4rem;
}
h1 {
font-size: 4rem;
}
}
