It is asking me to create a breakpoint for devices 480 pixels wide or larger. Inside the breakpoint, set the h1 font-size to 2.5em.
What could be wrong with this?
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) { h1 { font-size: 2.5em; } }
It keeps saying "Did you change the font size to 2.5em?"
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {

Your code is correct, it's just not in the right place in the StyleSheet. In the Challenges, unless it specifies otherwise, you should always add the code required at the end of the file. So just cut your media query and pasted it at the end of the file, and you will be good to go.
Keep Coding! :)

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsHi Dale.
To answer your question, you just need to remember what CSS stands for: Cascading StyleSheet. So, the stylesheet is read and executed top-to-bottom - meaning the last rule on the sheet (if you have multiple rules) will be the one that is executed. So, if you put a Media Query at the top or middle (or somewhere in-between) and then add styling after the query, the styling after the query will actually replace the previous one.
For example, if you put a Media Query for a breakpoint to style the <h1> near the top of the stylesheet it would work, but if you now added a h1 tag further down to style the main page, this could overwrite your Media Query. So, it's a very good practice to always put your Media Queries at the bottom to prevent possible overriding (cascading) effects.
There is a nice example here
