}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

Hey Chase,

you almost got it right and you have only one small mistake. You didn't separate the two colors of your gradient by a comma. Oh, and you also have a spelling mistake in your linear-gradient, you flipped the a and r (linear-gardient).

It should work if you add the comma and fix the spelling mistake like so:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header {
  background-image: linear-gradient(to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}

Good luck! :)
