Hi David,

the style tags you posted should look like this:

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

Hope this helps :)

Hi David.

You forgot the semi-colon: 

<body>
  <style>h1{ color: green;}</style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Just for info: every CSS statement - line ends with a semi-colon ";" .

Happy Coding!!!

As stated by the others, don't forget the semicolon.

Also, as a good practice, I would be diligent about maintaining appropriate spacing and formatting. You have: 

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

and I would recommend to get in the habit of something like

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

It will make your code more readable for your future you or others looking at it.
