Hi Patrick,

You can literally just change the word "blue" to "purple" in the css rule for color.

Cheers :beers:

make sure define the file type...in this case when you are linking your css to your html page make sure the code is as follows; <link type='text/css' rel='stylesheet href='style.css'> TYPE is the file type in this case is a css file REL is the relationship btwn the file and the page ; in this case the file is used to style the page thus stylesheet HREF indicates the path you save the file in your computer. here at treehouse things are simple but when you are using ordinary text editors like notepad++ and atom, finding the path of the file is hard but to make things simple, just save your files on the desttops for code to work.
