Hi Moul!

You'll want to watch your syntax in your CSS. In CSS we don't have things like equal signs like in programming languages. Instead you separate attributes and values with a colon. Like this:

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

You can also add color to the border and so it in a shorthand like this:

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