<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
     <link href="styles.css" .rel="stylesheet" .main-pg{ }>
  </head>
  <body>

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

  </body>
</html>

in line 4,.rel should be rel; no period. I think that gets interpreted as a class in its own, if I'm not mistaken. Also in line 4, i dont think .main-pg { } interferes with the exercise but you dont need to have it there. CSS looks good IMO. Hope this works!

Hi Jorge Guzman I've made those changes you suggested but I still get the error message - Bummer: You need to set the border color for <p> elements to red.
