I took some suggestions and edited to what I thought would then be correct
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<h1>class= "location"> Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>
</body>
</html>
.location
{color: purple;}

Using the class as target would work (but maybe not pass the challenge) if you remove the stray > between the tag name and the class.

1,049 Pointsokay I'll try that. Thanks

1,049 PointsI still didn't pass the challenge.

31,756 PointsI went thru the challenge and it passed perfectly, make sure you are not putting a period in front of the h1 and putting a semicolon after the word purple and closing the brackets.

1,049 Pointsdoes this mean I don't need to add the .location first and then in the following line add h1 {color: purple;}?
Ace Motanya
31,756 Pointsyes take out the .location put exactly what i wrote. You only need to target the h1 tag
