Hello there Killeon

The incorrect line is actually the first line. Your style tag is at the right place, but the /style (i.e. the ending tag for the style tag), should be placed after your CSS. This way, the browser will know the difference between CSS and HTML.

Your CSS is the styling of the webpage (i.e. the h1 tag reference). So your code should instead look more similar to this:

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

<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>

I hope this helps.

Hi, I am at the same challenge, wrote the code exactly like Nick did on the video, but it did not change the font color to blue. I wrote it again like your example above exactly, still no color change. I also notice that in the video, Nick says that highlighting the word "blue" will show the color blue, but that also does not happen for me. I'm in Firefox. Any ideas? Thanks!
