Setting the font-size within media query

I am getting an error message asking me if I specified the font-size within the .title element in the second media query correctly. However, i do not get what I could have done wrong. Any advice?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px) {
 .main-header {
   background-color: tomato;
   color: white;
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  h1 {
    font-size: 5rem; 
  }
  }
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

Hi there! Would it be comforting to know that your second media query is actually just fine? :smiley: Unfortunately, it's your previous media query that's a bit off. You started the first media query with an open curly brace, then you started the rule for main-header with an open curly brace, closed the rule with a closed curly brace, but then you forgot to close off the media query. This is creating an error so that your second media query can't even be seen at this point.

Adding a second closed curly brace to your first media rule causes your code to pass for Step 2 of this challenge.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
