<code>In your CSS, apply your font to the first level headline using font-family. Include a sans-serif fallback. Bummer! It doesn't look like you've set the font-family for level 1 (h1) headers yet.</code> I dont know whats wrong with my code , originally the h1 and h2 were together but I separated them because the instructions seemed specific. The font-family from Google fonts of my choosing is Megrim. 

h1{
  color: #fff;
  font-family:Megrim sans-serif;
}

h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

Here is the code that passes.

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: Megrim, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

Is it necessary for megrim to be capitalized?

You have to set a comma between 2 fonts and your own included font have to be between quotes.

font-family: 'Megrim', sans-serif;

You only need the quotes if the font name is more than one word with a space in between the words.

Tip: when working with google fonts you can simply copy the code. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rea7zalpj4zulud/Screenshot%202014-04-19%2019.43.12.png

This issue appears to be related to the tree house code challenge tool assessing your entries to the code. The pre-populated css content, which already contains a h1 reference of, h1 { color: #fff; } I added a line font-family under the color line and it failed. You must create another h1 and add the font-family line of code to the the newly created h1. I had the correct code under the color line above, but, I finally realized it had to be added to the newly created h1 line- just for this assessment. h1 { font-family:'Changa One', sans-serif; }

I tried different google fonts and different browsers with the same results.
