Next, target the class main-heading. Give the heading a font-size property and set the value to 72px

Nothing I do works. What am I doing wrong?

I got it! I was adding it in style.html instead of style.css. Thank you.

Try the following

.main-heading {
     font-size: 72px;
}

Common mistakes are with the various punctuation and a space between 72 and px. Without your code, I cannot say.

She fixed it, Theodore. She was putting her CSS in the wrong place. See the comments above.

.main-heading {font-size: 72px;}

^ I keep putting this in the css section and it says "Bummer: Make sure you're including a font-size property and setting the value to 72px." What's the problem with this code?

I agree with Mansor Almost. My solution to the challenge was and in style.css: .main-heading { font-size: 72px }

and code/text editor keeps saying: Bummer: Make sure you’re including a ‘font-size’ property and setting the value ‘72’ How is my answer wrong when I've set 'class' element correctly in html correctly. PLEASE HELP!! as I'm unable to proceed to the next challenge question.
