How is this incorrect? <p class:"main-pg">My amazing website</p>

I'm not sure what I am doing incorrectly and the Bummer! response is not helpful.

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>
  <body>

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

Hey, you're so close! You just need the = sign and delete the : in your .html file. For the first part of this challenge that is.

Let me know if you need anymore help. :)
