Add a padding property that sets the top padding to 25 pixels and the bottom padding to 95 pixels.

What am I doing wrong?

.primary-content: {
padding-top: 25px;
padding-bottom: 95px; }

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.primary-content: {
  padding-top: 25px;
  padding-bottom: 95px;
 }

                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.

        <h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
        <p>
          Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#hotels">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
          <li><a href="#resorts">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
          <li><a href="#lodging">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
        </ul>       
      </div>
      <div>
        <h3>Pack Accordingly</h3>
        <p>
          One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:
        </p>
        <ol>
          <li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
          <li>Pack sunscreen</li>
          <li>Carry extra water just in case</li>
          <li>Pack light</li>
        </ol>
      </div>
        </div><!-- End .secondary-content -->

Hi Sofya,

remove the double point after your selector. Now the Challenge should pass.

Code:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.primary-content {
  padding-top: 25px;
  padding-bottom: 95px;
 }

Kindly Regards,

Philip
