You'l need to do two things:

  1. Change your <link> code the the following: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">

  2. Put the style code into your CSS style sheet rather than at the bottom of the HTML document. Cut the:

h1 { color: purple; }

from it's current location in the HTML document, then paste it into the styles.css document. Save, refresh the site and your <h1> tags should all be purple.

Melanie, there is a tab at the top of the challenge that leads to the 'styles.css' sheet where you need to place the style code. It is a bit hard to see.
