It will not let me create a rule in the styles.css file as instructed?

I am attempting to move through a course and it is asking me to create a rule in the styles.css file in which it will not allow me to do anything.

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

This is the index.html:

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

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

  </body>
</html>

This is the styles.css:

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

compare your code with this maybe you have forgotten something.
