It doesn't look like you've written any CSS code yet in styles.css.

At least please give it a good-faith attempt and then ask for help if you have trouble.

Remember the basic format for a CSS rule:

selector {
    property: value;
}

and in this case, the selector will be h1. I'll bet you can figure out the property and value.
