        <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.

        <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.

Hi Tim,

The title is a class, so you need to use dot notation to select it - and you need to select the span` as well, I think:

span.title{
  font-size: 26px;
}

[EDIT] Actually, just using .title as the selector works just fine.

Steve.

You are using a #, which designates an id. For a class, you should use a ".". Try: .title { font-size: 26px; }
