Unable to apply my font to the first level headline using font-family while including a sans-serif fallback.

Any suggestions?

Hi Courtney,

Had a look at your CSS, try using a comma between the ('DancingScript'. sans-serif;)

Should look like 'DancingScript', sans-serif;

Hope this helps :)

I think after your DancingScript, you need to put a comma instead of a full stop since that will mean a different syntax

Thank you both for the quick response. :)

I tried the comma but unfortunately that did not resolve it.
