Having trouble passing the CSS style tag challenge on Front End Web Challenge 1.

The editor preview shows that I have completed the task correctly. Even though I included the style tags, I have a red Bummer message that tells me I forgot the style tags.

index.html 
<style>

  h1{
  color: blue;
  }  
  </style>

CSS rules (inserted internally) are supposed to be found within the head tags. When I see the h1 tags appear immediately after the style tags, it makes me think that the CSS rules are not occurring within the head of the document.

In other words, be sure that the CSS rules appear in the HEAD, and that the content (h1, p, div, and all that good stuff) appears in the BODY of the document. Let me know if this helps you.
