stage 6 challenge 4

Let's give .main-header an inner-shadow with a second set of box-shadow values. Set the new shadow's horizontal and vertical offsets to 0, the blur radius to 60px, the spread radius to 5px, and the color to firebrick. Don't forget to include the keyword value that creates an inner box shadow.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading{
  text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;
}
.title{
  text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740;
}
.main-header{
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa;
  box-shadow: inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}

      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">

Hey Muduka,

You for the most part have the CSS right, just need to make a slight change to the main-header class. Instead of having two box shadow values back to back, for this exercise you keep them both on the same line, like so:

.main-header{ box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick; }

So remove the 2nd box-shadow value and add a comma in between and you should pass the challenge no problem, because your css values are correct.

Hope this helps!
