Due to the cascading nature of CSS, you should place your media queries at the end of the file. This is so the styles are not overwritten by other rulesets.

Simply move your media query down to the bottom after the .contact-info a rule and you should be good to go!

Doesn't the lesson put media queries on a separate css file responsive.css? You then import that in the html after your main.css so the rules don't get overwritten.

That may be the issue.

If you want to include media queries in the same file make sure it is all the way at the bottom, otherwise it will get over-written. Remember order matter in css (cascade).

thank you that was the problem. yes it does make a responsive.css but there is no way to do that in the challenge thus i think it was correct to say that I should have just put it at the bottom. Thank you all!
