#gallery li a p {
margin: 0;
padding: 5%;
font-size: 075em; /* right here - I made the correction */
color: #000;
}
EDIT: Just noticed that the value should probably be 0.75em and not 075 also.

9,975 PointsIt's strange, I just copy+paste his code, check the work and it said that it's working fine.
Though, you got a point, there's those 2 things to fix.

1,464 Pointsthanks everyone. I didnt even see those two small details. The issue ended up being that it didnt want the text color to be black! crazy little program!

14,268 PointsThe code submitted by OP is correct (regarding what you've mentioned). This is the benefit of cascading styles. If your h1 and h2 share a color but not a font-family/size/weight, this is how you would do it.
