Not sure what Im not including.

It says to include the paragraphs in bold and I have done so but it still says it's incorrect.

style.css

header span{
font-size: 26px;
}

.main-content span{
font-weight: bold;
}
index.html

Hi Kevin,

you are right but you have to select the .main-content paragraph and not the span.

Try it like this!

Best regards :)

header span {

}

.main-content p{
  font-weight: bold;
}
