There's no CSS codes in the worksheet of this question, but in the videos, the way it showed us to change the code was in the CSS section. Pretty frustrating
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

the styles.css should be:
h1 {
color: purple;
}
Or is the problem just an observation that they haven't explained external stylesheets yet? (it's been a while since i did that course, i don't really remember if they did external or not)

<style type="text/css">
h1 {
color: purple;
}
</style>

382 PointsThanks guys! It was pretty much that the video only explains how to change an existing CSS stylesheet, rather than how to create a standalone instruction. I was trying to create a tag in HTML and then add the colour command in CSS under that tag name cause that's about as much detail as the video goes into
