Hi, there are three errors in this code:

  1. You need to specify the value for both the horizontal and vertical offs

  2. You need to add a # before a hex value

  3. You have one character too much in the hex value (The "2")

So it becomes:

.main-heading { text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31; }

Hope this helps

Have a good day
