Task 4

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here? It is saying I'm not adding a comma to the value? I've tried multiple things including adding a comma in about every location... thanks!

.main-header { box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa; }

.main-header { box-shadow: inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick; }

You're version is overwriting the first box shadow. They want you to create two different box-shadows that happen on the same element. You use a comma at the end of the first one to start the second one. See below:

.main-heading {
  text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;
}

.title {
  text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740; 
}

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