Let's make the <h1> element with the class "heading" larger. Increase the font size to 48 pixels.

I am stuck on this question. I get an error message of "make sure your pixel is set at 48."

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
class= .heading {
  font-size:48px;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

Hi Alana. If you want to target the h1 which has the class "heading", in your CSS you need to write: .heading (in other words, the name of the class with a full stop just before it):

.heading { font-size: 48px; }

'class=""' is the attribute you write in your HTML when you want to give a tag (like an <h1> or a <p>) a class name. You do not use class= in CSS.

So if you delete class= from your CSS, I think it should stop giving you an error :)

The other guys have explained it really well.

This is what your CSS code should look like:

.heading {
     font-size: 48px;
}
