231,122 PointsWhen setting a gradient direction, you only specify the "to" part. It figures out the "from" by itself.
So just remove the word "bottom" and you'll pass the challenge.

18,814 PointsLooks like you might have figured this out already, based on your other post about a later challenge - but just in case...
It's just a minor syntax difference. You only need to specify one direction, so you don't need to include bottom
in order to set it to go bottom to top.
.main-header{
background-image:linear-gradient(
to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%
);
}
Edit: Removed the in-line comment, in the event you need to copy-paste. Please let us know if you don't understand the answer, though.

231,122 PointsI think the comment confuses the validation mechanism. But it passes the challenge if you follow my original suggestion and just remove the word "bottom" from your original code.
