42,016 Pointsyour CSS selector is correct, however you have your h1 html tag inside the style tag. it does not need to be in there. close the style tag before the h1 tag starts. style tags are meant to contain css code, not html
<body>
<style>
h1 {
}
</style>
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

1,912 PointsThere are a few issues with the code you provided. First off the style tag should be in the head and not in your body like you've provided. Your element level 1 heading then should be in the body... see my example below:
<html>
<head>
<style>
h1 {color:red;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>
</html>

thats actually not what the task wants (although it is more idiomatically correct). the task explicitly states: We're starting out with an h1 element and a body element. Add a style element just above the h1.
so the style tags need to go directly above the h1 tag
<body>
<style>
h1 {
}
</style>
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>
you wont pass if you put the style tags inside the head

Courses Plus Student 1,408 PointsHi Haley,
First, you must understand to separate HTML codes to CSS codes. Secondly, practice external stylesheet because that is the highly recommended.
Hope this helps.
