# .site-header command doesn't work

 * I’m following a Youtube tutorial and my code is identical to the tutor’s, but
   somehow nothing happens when I try to use the .site-header (and site-footer) 
   command like he does, to target my header (and footer).
 * I’m trying to make a border below my header, here’s my code:
 *     ```
       /* Header */
       .site-header {
       	border-bottom: 10px solid #333;
       }
       ```
   
 * Here’s the tutorial for reference (from 19.25): [https://youtu.be/k7olvEeBM2I?list=PLpcSpRrAaOaqMA4RdhSnnNcaqOVpX7qi5](https://youtu.be/k7olvEeBM2I?list=PLpcSpRrAaOaqMA4RdhSnnNcaqOVpX7qi5)
 * I’d really appreciate any help.

 * If your code actually _is_ identical, then make sure you clear your browser cache
   between changes to make sure you see them. Also make sure your header actually
   has the class `site-header`.

 * How exactly do I make sure it has the class site-header? Are classes things you
   make yourself? Should there be somewhere in the code where I’ve already introduced.
   site-header?

 * Edit: Yes there was. Apparantly I had written _site header_ instead of _site-
   header_.

 * Glad you got this worked out. Yeah, spelling something wrong or forgetting a 
   semi-colon or some other little thing can bring things to a standstill pretty
   quickly.
 * You can add as many classes as you need to an html element to give you a way 
   to pinpoint a specific target for your styles (css).
