to select an element use curly brackets {} so for h1, insert h1{} in your style tag as others have shown above, I remember it thinking of the opening and closing curly brackets looking like a capital E and S so Element Selector... :)

Thank you Katie!

you can target the h1 tag by simply adding the h1.

<style>
  h1 {
    /*PROPERTIES HERE*/
}
</style>

Thank you, Chyno!

To simply target the <h1> HTML element you can use the following code. I suggest you re-watch that video as it covers the CSS basics.

            <style>
               h1 {
               /* Insert properties here for example: color: tomato;
            }
            </style>

Thank you, Lachlan!
