Next, create a placeholder called warning. Set its font-weight to bold and color to red.

h

style.scss 
.roundy {
  width: 150px;
  border-radius: 50%;
}

.img-author {
  @extend .roundy;
}
.warning {
  font-weight: blod;
  color: red;
}

the syntax for a placeholder is to use the percent sign % not a dot. you are targeting a class called warning, not creating a placeholder called warning. then of course spell bold correctly.

As per James South said, .img-author { @extend .roundy; You put a dot or period before roundy. @extend :roundy; It should be this : before roundy.

I hope this helps.

Hi, Hossein Kamalifar This is just a typo!!! font-weight: blod; it should read == "bold"

Simple mistake, I always try to proof read my work...
This should help .warning { font-weight: bold; color: red; }
