My style code is not working

I have done this twice and think I have everything EXACTLY like the example in the video but highlighting the word blue does not show me an example of the color and when I save and preview my name is still in black. What in the world am I doing wrong?

This is what I have: <style>

h1 { color: blue; } </style> <h1>Carla Lyman</h1>

Hi Carla

Wrap your name in a h1 tag

html <h1>Carla Lyman</h1> h1{color:blue;}

Hello. If you are able to post a little bit more of your code, then it might be easier to figure out what is happening and why it does not work.

Is it the code challenge you are struggling with?

In the code challenge I was asked to color the text inside the H1 tags green. This is how that is done:

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

Do you see any differences between your code and mine?

Best regards, Jonas

Thanks for the efforts. I figured it out....it was actually a space that was the bug-a-boo in workspaces.
