Hi Tamika,

This is how to set the CSS styles for the element:

  1. first you need to enter the element you wanted to be style.
  2. then you need open and closing curly braces.
  3. then inside the closing and open curly braces you'll enter your styles.

See sample below.

hi { 
  color: purple;
}

Hope this help. Owa
