Hi Kim, Your version has the curly braces as {} but with nothing inside of them for the CSS rule to apply, within each declared rule for the class of .main-pg require to be like:

Also you are missing a closing angle bracket where the starting <p> tag is <p class="main-pg">My amazing website</p>

.main-pg{
    css property: style you wish to apply;
}

/* Your version */

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


}

Please check the new version below: it will hopefully give you an understanding :)

new version

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