Hi Megumi,

that should be completely correct. I tried it out in the actual code challenge and it was accepted as correct.

The only thing I see in your code: You have a strange ending of your CSS comment in the first line...

Yours ends with "h" instead of "/".

If you have that in your code challenge then all of your code becomes a comment. And of course then will not be accepted as correct... ;-)

Does that help?

Happy coding!

Nils

Resolved: Added <div> then the class "main-content"

Should not be necessary though...

I tried it in the code challenge with

.main-content p {
  font-weight: bold;
}

and it was accepted as correct.
