As Jesse Richard previously mentioned, it's hard for us to know what's causing the issue you are having if you don't show us your code. For some tips on how to do that, check out the tips for asking questions video located in the right hand sidebar.

Hey Larry,

Try opening a discussion in a new tab and copy and paste your current code over and what you have to do to get a fast and accurate helpful answer. :)

Judging by the track your on this may help...

If its part 1/3 try just typing <style></style> tags above your <h1> keep your moves very simple and specific to what the code asks you to do.

If its part 2/3 then simple write h1{} inside your <style> tags.

If its part 3/3 then type color:green; inside your {}. The final result should look like this...

<style>h1 {color:green;} </style> <h1>Some text</h1>

Regards,

Adam

Don't forget < style > tags including your < / style >closing tag, it keeps taking them out when i post on here
