  </head>
  <body>

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

Hi Aba,

Your code looks good, you just have a tiny syntax error. wide isn’t a keyword in css. px is the unit of measurement that determines how the number preceding it is interpreted. And the border property makes up the following properties: border-width, border-style, and border-color.

So just typing 4px solid red will complete the challenge for you.
