It seems you have a syntax error. I recommend you look carefully at your css file, a hint would be you have an extra something that should be there.

If you are still lost, you have an extra closing curly brace. Remove that!

Remove the last curly brace.

FYI: they highlight the curly braces syntax to make it easier to read.
