}

a { text-decoration: none; }

/**************************/ HEADING /**************************/

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0;
}

h1 { font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 1.75em

/**************************/ COLORS /**************************/

/site body/ body {

background-color: #fff; color: #999;

}

your comments need to have asterisks, I am not sure if this will solve the problem overall, but it is a start "/site body/ " should be /site body/

Hi Richard - you may be having issues due to the way you are commenting in your code, it should be as follows:

/******* GENERAL ***********/

You seem to be adding in extra '/' slashes in random bits of your code which will disrupt your code and comments. You also have some errors with you curly bracket placement by the looks of things. Try posting your code again using the markdown cheatsheet, then people can see it more clearly for errors (as sometimes they way you have written it some bits get omitted).
