Hey Harpreet,

your code is actually perfectly fine. I think it's just not passing the challenge because the challenge wants you to change the h1's font-family in the external main.css file. So you just have to switch the tab and add the line you already wrote in your internal stylesheet there.

And you also made a small mistake in your internal stylesheet because you forgot to write quotes around the type attribute's value "text/css".

h1 {
    font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
}

wow thanks so much I did not even see the tab for main.css thanks a lot

No problem, glad I could help! It's really a bit easy to overlook at first.
