The current code in styles.css works, but you modified index.html such that it no longer includes the link to the stylesheet. Try adding <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet"> back into index.html.

If you wanted to use inline css, you could do <h1 style="color:purple;">Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>.
