Why are you using <div id="h2"> instead of <h2>?

If it's a heading, using a div is semantically incorrect.

Anyway, the immediate issue is that you are using id="h2" in your markup, but you use a class selector (.h2) in your CSS.

Either change the markup to <div class="h2"> or your CSS to #content #h2.

Or better yet, change your markup to <h2> and your CSS to #content h2.
