Write CSS Media Queries - Help?

Hello,

I'm trying to answer the first question of this code challenge (creating a breakpoint at 480px to change the h1 font size to 2.5em), and it doesn't seem to work. I've tried multiple browsers, as well as rewriting the code several times. Any help?

Thanks in advance,

Bryan

css/main.css 
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  h1 {
    font-size: 2.5em;
  }
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

.contact-info {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px;
}

Hello Bryan, try to use @media.

If you want the answer, you will need to write at the bottom of the code.

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
     h1 {
       font-size: 2.5em;
    }
}

For more check the MDN- @media

You're really close. These challenges are very specific. You want your media query at the bottom, and try this code...

@media (min-width: 480px) {
       h1 {
          font-size: 2.5em;
       }
}
