It looks like you put your CSS in the wrong file.

Your CSS line looks good, but instead of placing it in the index.html file, it should go in styles.css. Select that file using the tab that displays the file name, then add your CSS code there instead.

first error is in link href="css/stylesheet.css"> - if it's in folder, you need to add css/ first. Then dont forget extencion .css

second error is h1{color:purple;} move it out from html to you css page. And dont forget a spase after element: h1 { color: purple; }

if you lost space, it can not work.

Actually spaces between the selector and brace are optional. It works the same with or without them.
