Change the color of the h1 tag to purple. Please if anyone is kind enough to explain this to me.

I didn't find the video explained it very well.... could somebody possibly explain this too me. I'm not sure where to even start.

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

     <h1> Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css

In your CSS you need to define h1 tag somehow. There are a few ways to to this. The easiest way is defining by tag. // h1 { color:purple }But there are a lot of ways to do that. P.S. I'm from Moskow so sorry if you found some mistakes

in your css file you would write the following -

h1 { color: purple; }
