In the head section of the html file, you changed the link tag to h1. It should be kept as is. 

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

The importance of this tag is to link the css file to the html file. href is the location of the file and rel is the relationship of the file to the html page, which is that it's a stylesheet. Now that you understand the meaning behind them, you can see why it doesn't make sense to change them in this situation and why your changes won't do what you want.

Everything else you did is correct. Hope this helps.
