First, you are asked to change the h1 to a paragraph (a p element).

You also were supposed to change the paragraph's color to purple using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

Try using this as the HTML (all I did is I changed the h1 to a p element)

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

    <p>Welcome to My Web Page!<p>

  </body>
</html>

And for the CSS, you need to select the p element and change the color:

styles.css 
p {
    color: purple;
}

Good luck! ~alex
