How do you select the class intro and ant its font weight to bold?

I tried it but it didn't work in a challenge.

going off Paulo's reply...

Double check that there is a semi-colon after bold to close the statement.

.intro { font-weight: bold; }

good to note, that the semicolon is unnecessary on the last line of a rule list. also not needed if theres only 1 rule

Depending on the person, you can omit it or not.

I would say it's a good habit to get into to always put it in.

It may currently be the last or only declaration but you may decide later that you need to add more declarations after it.

If you don't remember to put it back in then that declaration and the one that follows will be ignored by the browser.

Yes, you'll probably figure out the problem soon enough but my opinion is to not allow this to be a possibility. One less thing to remember.
