How do I create an h1 selector and make it purple. Isn't this done on CSS?

This question applies to the Challenge task 2 of 2 in the intro to HTML and CSS.

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

    <h1>Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
h1 {

Hi Jennifer,

Yes, this is done in CSS, and it looks like you've already correctly started this task. In the CSS tab (file) you already have entered

h1 {

Now you just need to add the CSS to change the color (hint: color) and the color requested by the task (purple) and then close the h1 rule with the closing curly brace.

So, you pretty much have it... just need to finish.

Hope this helps. :) :dizzy:
