"Make sure you're writing the transition properties in the correct rule."

I do not know what's wrong with my code here. It works in the preview but it always says "Bummer! Make sure you're writing the transition properties in the correct rule." Can someone point it out to me? Thanks.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.button {  
  background: #4682B4;
  transition-duration: .4s;
}

.button:hover {
    background: #356690;
  transition-property: background;
  transition-duration: .4s;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>CSS Transitions</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <a class="button" href="#">Learn More</a>
</body>
</html>

Hi Logan,

You need to set the transition on the default state of the button

.button {  
  background: #4682B4;
  transition-property: background;
  transition-duration: .4s;

}

.button:hover {
    background: #356690;
}

The transition will then kick in when the state changes (hover)
