Hi Cliffton,

At about 2:25 in the Gradients video, Guil explains how to add a direction to the gradient.

Also, we can't use spaces preceding commas.

linear-gradient(todo, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%)

I left the direction for you fix. If you still have issues after watching the video again, please post and I'll show the working code.

Hope this helps,

Cheers
