Hey Sean,

In your CSS file, try removing the dot before .h1, that will target all h1 directly regardless of their class. Or, alternatively, change .h1 for .main-heading as that is the class your h1 is using on index.html

Thank you Juan, changing .h1 to h1 fixed the issue I was running into and is working correctly now.

Hello Sean! You must change "rem" to "em".I think it'll solve your problem!

The problem is you put a dot in front of the h1 element. The dot tells CSS to select a class, but you're wanting the h1 tag itself.
