You seem to have shuffled the media query with the selector. In your previous question they were both on separate lines, but just out of order.

The media query needs to be first, then inside of it (between the braces) will come the selector for the ".main-header" rule. It will have it's own braces and the properties and values will be inside of them.

Other than some punctuation, that looks the same to me as what you posted at the top (without the formatting).

You may want to re-watch the last video and/or the video before that.
