In the CSS file create a rule for the .main-pg class. You don't need to write style instructions

<!doctype html> <html> <head> <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet"> </head> <body> <div class=".main-pg"> <p class="main-pg">My amazing website</p>

</body> </html>

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class=".main-pg">
      <p class="main-pg">My amazing website</p>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css

After adding the class "main-pg" on the paragraph you do not have to create a parent div. You just need to create the CSS rule targeting ".main-pg" with no instructions, like this :

.main-pg {
}

In the file styles.css =) The CSS file.

Now that you have your paragraph which contains the class "main-pg" you want to create a CSS Rule (so in the second file of the challenge) to add style for this selector.
