Why did you apply the "font-size: 2.5em;" on the h1 tag instead of the #logo ID that you were already working on?

I wanna know if there is a reason why? because i fell like both the h1 and the logo #ID are style the same information..

Hi Omar,

The key here is that #logo rules will only target that particular element, whereas h1 rules will target all h1 elements. The advantage of targeting h1 is that later on the page (or even on other pages!), your h1 elements will all be that size. It's what makes CSS so powerful - you can describe what you want hundreds of pages on your site look like.

Let me know if that answers your question.

Best,

-Greg

Yes it does answer my question. and it makes sense. I guess I was confused because i didn't see the h1 element being used anywhere in the website so far. but I guess it makes sense in case we were to add it later. thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
