Hi Christopher,

I've edited your code so it appears correct in your post.

Here is a link to explain how to use Markdown to post your code How to post code

If you look at the bottom of the box when your typing a reply you will see Markdown Cheatsheet that will also explain how to post your code.

You have to make sure you have a bit of space under your last line of text in your post. Then you add three back ticks followed by html or css depending on the type of code your inserting.
Then straight after your last line of code you add another three back ticks.
Remember to leave at least a few lines between any text at the top or bottom of your code.

alt text

Hope this helps.

Hey Christopher,

Is this part of a code challenge?
Can you explain a little more about what you want to do and give us the rest of your html and css please.

Your maybe having problems only due to a small typo.

@media only screen and (max-width 769px) /* you need to add : after max-width */

@media only screen and (max-width: 769px)

Hope this helps.

You're missing a colon in the media query between max-width and 769px: @media only screen and (max-width: 769px)
