Hey Brendon!

Linear gradient syntax is rough! Without a snippet of the code you are using for your answer, I am not sure what part is holding you back, but I am assuming it has to do with the gradient direction. Check the use of the word "to" with your direction. Here's an example for you...

h1 {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to right, red, blue 85%);
}

Don't get discouraged! Gradients are a little rough, especially when dealing with radial values and transparencies, but they are very useful for responsive layouts. I use them a lot to replace backgrounds from web pages created in Adobe Illustrator (and such).

Keep up the good work!!

That worked! Thanks Scott. Happy New Year to you as well.

.main-header { background-image: linear-gradient( to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%); }

No worries brother!!

When you get a chance, could you do me a favor and either vote or give "best answer" for my replies? I am working on fulfilling the requirements for the Treehouse Career Program (https://teamtreehouse.com/career) and trying to earn my "Contribute Knowledge" points.

PEACE!!

ScottPeake Here's the code that is off the code challenge for Gradients:

.main-header { background-image: linear-gradient(bottom to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%); }

I get the error "Oops! It looks like Task 3 is no longer passing."

I can see your bottom! Tee-hee-hee!

You don't need to include the word BOTTOM in your code. It is sort of "implied," just like in the example I included. You only need to specify "to where" you are going.

Happy New Year by the way!!
