/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px) {
.main-header {
  background-color: tomato;
  color: white; 
}

 @media (max-width: 768px) {
   .title {
     font-size: 1.4rem;
   }

   h1 {
     font-size: 5rem;
   }
  }
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

Everything seems to be working when I run the code. The only thing that I saw missing was a closing bracket for the 1st media query:

@media (max-width: 1020px) { .main-header { background-color: tomato; color: white; } } // This one

But it worked for me even without it. What error were you getting?

The problem was the font sizes being wrong for the second part, I tried again and its still not working. It says either 'did you set the title font size right/did you set the heading font size correctly'
