Hi Jerricka Kimbrough,

Task 1: Add a class called "main-pg" to the paragraph element.

index.html

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

<!-- You just need to assign class to the <p> element like this -->

    <p class="main-pg">My amazing website</p>

  </body>
</html>

Task 2: In the CSS file, create a rule for the .main-pg class. You don't need to write any style instructions yet.

You go to style.css file and write this code to create a rule for the .main-pg class.

styles.css

.main-pg {

}

Task 3: Give the paragraph a border that is 4px wide, solid and red.

styles.css

.main-pg {
  border: 4px solid red;
}
