This was the question:
Create a breakpoint for devices 480 pixels wide or larger. Inside the breakpoint, set the h1 font-size to 2.5em.
What did I miss here?
@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; }

Treehouse Project ReviewerHi, place the media rule below the rest of the css.
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
h1 {
font-size: 2.5em;
}
}
Remember, css stands for cascading style sheets. The cascade part means that, any code above that is overridden by code that follows below it (providing they are of the same target), hence the cascade part.
In your code, you we're overriding the media rule because the old h1 rule followed after it with its same font-size property.
I have not long ago finished this course myself. As Nick explains, you must link your responsive.css file directly after any other style sheet, so that the cascading nature of CSS doesn't over rule any of the styles in the responsive.css file that holds the media queries.
