Give the paragraph a border that is 4 px wide solid red

The paragraph has a class attribute of "main-pg". I've been trying to set the Border like this in CSS but it's not working

.main-pg {border: 4px solid red } I've even tried this .p {border:4px solid red } And still nothing. What am I doing wrong?

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








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

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
.main-pg{ border 4pxsolidred
}










p.solid {border-style:co

Hi, based on the CSS screenshot you included it looks like you just forgot to put spaces between the CSS values and also make sure you end every CSS declaration (each line inside {}) with a semicolon ;

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

Have a nice day and happy coding! :)
