You need to place the class tag within the "opening" tag of an element. For example; 

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

Attributes such as: id,class,src,href,title,caption etc. etc. etc. all need to be added without the "<>" of any tag in order to be valid.

Let me know if this makes sense :)

In your case, you have placed an extra closing ">" after the <p' causing the code to exclude the class attribute.
