Here is one of the many different error msgs..I tried using #main-footer but that didnt work.
Bummer: Make sure you use a selector that targets an element with an ID of main-footer
?
h1 {
font-size: 62px;
}
img {
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
div {
padding: 15px;
}
footer {
margin-top: 40px;
}

54,664 PointsIn your html it should be:
<footer id="main-footer">
Then in your css
#main-footer {
margin-top: 40px;
}
