What am I doing wrong???

It says the code is wrong, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what it is.

"Create a new rule that targets .main-heading. Give the heading a text shadow by setting the horizontal and vertical offsets to 0, the blur radius to 5px, and the color to the hex value be7b31."

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading {
  text-shadow: 0px 0px 5 #be7b31;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                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.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->

        <footer class="main-footer">
            <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
            <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
        </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Hi Tyler,

You forgot to put px on the blur.

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

you also don't need to add px when you are just declaring it as 0. Just like what Hugo's code shows
