Tried the solutions from the training video, but nothing working - keeps saying "did you specify font size for .title?"

how to create a new media query that targets all devices when the viewport width is 768px or narrower. Inside the media query, target the .title element and set the font-size to 1.4rem. Finally, target the h1 element and set its font-size to 5rem.

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.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

It looks as though your issue is the absence of a closing bracket " } " on both of your media queries.

So in your style.css you would need a } after the closing bracket for the .main-header styles in the first media query and another } after the h1 styles in your second. Closing off all of your css styles can be tricky, but it's really important. A lot of times regulated indention will help you ensure everything is closed off.

Hope this helps!

Hi Scott,

It seems that you have forgotten to close the second media query. So, if you put the last } at the end, I guess it will work just fine.

By the way, keeping your code tidy with indents would make it more readable and easy to spot errors.

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  h1 {
    font-size: 5rem;
  }
}

I hope this helps.

I tried imputing the code above and still prompts me with "did you specify font size for .title?" any other suggestions?
