My class CSS is not being applied. I make sure I have my "." in place when writing it in my CSS file.

Hi Katie,

There's a (' - ') between section and title which indicates that they are 2 separate classes. but in the .CSS you've written it like it's one class. instead of: 

.section-title {
text-transform: uppercase;
}

like this

.section {
text-transform: uppercase;
}

.title {
text-transform: uppercase;
}

OR IT'S SIMPLY A MISSING (' - ') between class values. if a class attribute has 2 or more values not separated by commas it means this element has multiple classes and can be referred in the CSS in each of those classes.

Hope this has helped you, HAPPY CODING
