3,183 PointsDay 1 for me. This question says I need to set the border color for <p> elements to red... How?
In CSS I've already put in border= solid red 3px
but then it says what my question is asking
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<p class="main-pg" color="red">My amazing website</p>
</body>
</html>
.main-pg {
border= solid red 4px;
}

That being said, the mistake in your code is a simple one and extremely easy to remedy! See below for the solution, and an explanation:
.main-pg {
border: solid red 4px;
}
In your code, you used an equals instead of the colon inside of the css property. Remember in most cases when using CSS, your syntax will look like the following at its most basic:
selector {
property: value;
}
I hope this helps, if you have further questions or want me to further explain something, please don't hesitate to respond to this answer with a comment!
Cheers, Happy Coding and Welcome to Treehouse!
