What is it exactly that you are trying to do? Right now you have a CSS style sheet linked to your HTML, but I don't see any CSS

For the second task: "Change the color of the h1 tag to purple." you do need to use CSS.

HTML is only used to describe the structure of a webpage, everything to do with styling, which includes things like colors, are changed using CSS.
