Hi, if you want to add a class to an html element, you need to do it in the html file, and it has to be inside the first angle bracket after the name of the html tag. You put it in-between the tags. What goes between the opening and closing tags is the message you want to display to the page. you should do this. 

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

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


  </body>
