I can't give the paragraph a border that is 4px wide, solid and red.

I really have no idea why this does not work

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

    <p class=main-pg> My amazing website</p>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
}
 .main-pg {
  border: 4px solid red;
}

In your html you need to have quotations around the name of the class

<p class="main-pg"> My amazing website</p>

Then in your CSS it should look like this. 

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