Have you tried removing the space between the t in gradient and the opening parenthesis? So it would be:

.main-header {
    background-image: linear-gradient(180deg, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}

Hey! If you substitute the degrees with a 'to top' instead, it should let you pass.

Good luck!

A value of 180deg is equivalent to to bottom . Since the challenge is asking you to set the gradient direction from bottom to top, you should use either 0deg or to top.
