The css syntax is off a little, try:

font-size: 2px;

BTW- 2px is really small, I would go 16px at least.

In the third part of the challenge it asks you to create a border, 4 pixels wide, solid, and red. The following syntax does just that.

.main-pg {
  border: 4px solid red;
}

edit: 4px, not 2.
