Why did you use a id and class for the header tag?

I would check out this link to understand when to use id vs. class:

Also check out the color property for css

She used an Id attribute so that she can internally link the page's bottom back to top shortcut link to the top.

The course has that like this, she hasn't changed a thing with that.

You are missing brackets around your media rule.

There is no such property called font-color. It's just color.

 @media (max-width: 1020px) {

  /* Put code here */

}

Try and use the code 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; } }

You shouldn't give direct answers to other students, have done so in the past and have been warned about it.

That's why my answer was to help the student understand clearly and not directly with a correct answer.

Providing a solution to the student doesnt help them learn any more of the concept in hand.

Just a tip incase you get a reply from a moderator.

Hii Jemie, Noted. Thank you for highlighting that to me. I never knew its not allowed. Will not do that going forward.

No problem! Yes I had a moderator warn me about it in the past as I previously gave students the solutions to challenges. It makes sense as they don't actually take any great information from it as it doesn't help them achieve anything in the long run of the learning process. You are welcome!
