I keep creating the new rule in css targeting the class title changing the font-size to 26px. It keeps saying I'm wrong!

The challenge asks to target the class "title" and set the font-size to 26px. I typed the following code:

. title { font-size: 26px; }

I looked on-line for other references and it says the code is correct. Is there a glitch in treehouse code? lol

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
. title {
  font-size: 26px;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <header>
        <span class="title">Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
        <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
      </header>
      <div class="main-content">
        <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.

        <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.

Try deleting the space between the period and "title" so it reads 

.title{
   font-size: 26px;
}

That should work.

Hi Rhonda, Is there a space between . and title, in your css file?

The space between the period and the class will solve the problem.

.title {font-size: 26px};
