Next, target the class main heading. Give the heading a font size property and set the value to 72px.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Lake Tahoe</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<header class= "main-header">
<span>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
<h1 class="main-heading"{font-size:72px;}>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
</header>
<p>
Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

<a href="#">Find out more</a>
<div>
<h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>
<p>
As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.
</p>
<a href="#">See the Wildlife</a>
</div>
</body>

Courses Plus Student 18,830 PointsHey Jason! Is the word target what's throwing you off? It's another term you'll hear people use instead of select. So you'd do the same thing you did before when you selected the class .main-header
in the earlier task.
.main-heading {
font-size: 72px;
}
Brendan Whiting
Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,738 PointsThe .main-heading
rule should be very similar to what you did in your .main-header
rule. Inside the rule, you'll have a declaration similar to what you did with background-color: orange;
except it will be with font-size
and 72px
.
Christopher Mlalazi
Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 17,305 PointsYou have made your CSS declaration in the Html <h1 class="main-heading"{font-size:72px;}>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
It's better to remove it from there and do it in the CSS folder just like Kristopher Van Sant has shown above. Good luck with your coding!
