The dot is for selecting by class name. So as it is now, your CSS rule only targets the empty paragraph instead of the h1 element.
Also, I don't think adding another paragraph is part of the challenge.

28,480 PointsIn the first task you changed the paragraph <p> to an <h1>. But now you are giving the Paragraph a class of h1 which is un-necessary since there is no text in the Paragraph. When you select the h1 in the CSS you don't need to select a class. You can just select the h1 element like so:
h1 { color: purple; }
