You don't need to make multiple forum posts for the same question. Just add on to your last post. In any case, please pay attention to the challenge instructions. You have the wrong colour. :)

Edit: Like Samuel Webb says below, you also have the style tags in the wrong place.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head> // open head , style need to be inside the <head></head> after the title.
<title></title>
<style>
  h1 {
   color:blue; 
  }
</style>
</head>  // close head

<body>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

While usually correct, this challenge is specifically asking you to put the style tags above the h1 inside the body.

did you try, instead of putting the 

<style>

h1 {color: blue;}
</style>

put on the body tag like this:

<h1 style="color:blue;">Nick Pettit</h1>

Also, the style tag needs to be contained in the body, similar to the h1.

Hey there, the instructions say to add the style above the <h1> element, so it should be as follows

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

    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

that should do it!
