How do I change the h1 to purple? (Intro to css and html course last task on stage one) there's nothing written for me on the style sheet.

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

Try this to complete the tasks:

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <style>
      h1 {
        color: purple;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>
  </body>
</html>

h1 {
  color: purple;
}

h1 here selects the h1 tags and, the color property sets the color of the text.

Erik is right.

But also you need to make sure you have a h1 tag in your HTML, currently you only have a p tag.

Good catch! Just read the question and didn't pay attention to that. Thanks.
