733 PointsNo space below h2
I followed the tutorial where I added "margin: 0 0 30px 0;" to the header but the 30px on the bottom is not showing and there is no space below the text... should I update the h2 in the CSS?

19,977 PointsYou have written the style correctly ie that should give a margin on the bottom of 30px. Make sure you have added it to the correct element and you are calling the element correctly
header { margin: 0 0 30px 0; }

header h2 { margin-bottom: 20px; }
