I followed the formatting in the video and put .main-pg{border:4px solid red;} but it is marking this incorrect.

This follows the css convention but it is telling me that I need to do something with <p>. However this is not what they seem to be asking for, what am I doing wrong? (In CSS) .main-pg{ border:4px solid red; }

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;
}

Hello Nekai,

Everything looks good, however you need to make one adjustment!

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

it looks like there is no space between border and 4px, which to my understanding causes a syntax error. If you use the above, it should work!

Hope this helps,

Cheers! :beers:
