Code challenge is not seeing me type font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal;

Hi Daniel,

Looks like what's missing are the rel and type attributes for the link element that was used to add the font (this is in index.html):

    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Catamaran|Indie+Flower" rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

These are used to state the relationship between the HTML document and the resource being linked to.

Hope this helps!

Try adding a closure to the your google fonts link tag. It's possible that it can't read the CSS below because of this.

Definitely don't forget your closing brackets right there. But I did just copy and paste your code and it worked so it definitely could be a bug.
