I recommend restarting the challenge. In the html you will only change the p tag to an h1. In the css file, you can't use html tags.

For the css code you don't need the brackets. h1 { color: purple; } This will work

You also have to remove all the h1 elements excepted from "Welcome to My Web Page!"

!doctype html

<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">

<h1>Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>
