I did’t spend too much time with the media query (just part of the challenge) - until now, the course has only shown a very limited insight. How do you know ‘its doing what you told’? Do you mean, this has an effect on my subsequent code? Thanks for your time - it really helps.

Yes, the course didn’t go too deep into media query. That’s something you can learn more about with a little research.

I know the media query is doing what you told it to do because I noticed the effect when using dev tools.
If you comment out the media query in CSS you’ll see.

Take some time though to learn more about developer tools.

As said, just take a little time to learn more about media queries.

And low and behold!
I’m going to take a time-out from the course and delve into a) media-queries and be) dev tools.
Thanks for your tips and advice.
