And nothing goes yet on the "styles.css" tab. When it does, the syntax will be different.

1,402 PointsWhen creating a class for an HTML element make sure to leave out the '.' when defining the class so for example:
You're asking to have the .main-pg set to paragraph class so it should be <p class="main-pg"> and not <p class=".main-pg">
And then when you're creating a declaration on the CSS style sheet to refer to the class you created you don't need to include the carrots.
To refer to a class element you simply just need to put the '.' to refer to any class created.
So it would be .main-pg
