It looks like you've got this right.

If you're wondering about why the curly braces are needed, they just provide a separation in the CSS between the element selector and their properties and values.

So in your example,

<style>
    h1 {
     color: blue;
    }
  </style>

The format is 

<style>
    selector {
     property: value;
    }
  </style>

I hope this answers your question and a welcome to Treehouse. :-)
