A few things. The link tag needs to be closed with a "/". There is a "." before the rel tag and you don't need .main-pg{} in the link tab since you are linking to an external style sheet
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
Within the stylesheet /**/ notes a CSS comment vs //.
Try those changes and let us know if that helps :)
