<p class="main-pg">My amazing website</p> Be careful with signs. A name of the class also must be in quotes.

Hi Saeed and Alexander,

You have a colon (":") instead of an equal sign ("=").
Also, the quotes are optional, but if you use them they must be balanced (on both sides of the name):

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