Whenever I resize my Chrome window, the media queries never take effect. I tried using the "screen" keyword, as well as "all", but nothing works --

Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of <a href="#mink">mink</a>, <a href="#bears">bears</a>, and <a href="#eagles">bald eagles</a>.

<h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
<p>
Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#hotels">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
<li><a href="#resorts">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
<li><a href="#lodging">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
</ul>

<h3>Pack Accordingly</h3>
<p>
One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
<li>Pack sunscreen</li>
<li>Carry extra water just in case</li>
<li>Pack light</li>
</ol>

@media screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
}
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
}
