Create a breakpoint for devices 480 pixels wide or larger. Inside the breakpoint, set the h1 font-size to 2.5em.

Why isn't this correct?

@media screen and (min-width:480px){ h1{ font-size:2.5em; }

}

css/main.css
@media screen and (min-width:480px){
  h1{
    font-size:2.5em;
  }

}


a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;

Hi Shehan,

It's not working because it is in the wrong place.

Media Queries should never be at the top of a CSS Sheet. They should always be at the end. This is why the Challenge is not passing.

If you place it at the top, it is pretty much pointless, as the h1 rule in the Query can and will be overwritten by the other h1 rule further down the page. This is the "Cascading" part of CSS.

Hope that helps.
