4,795 PointsWhy is <style> tag nested within the body above the <h1> tag?
<body>
<style>
h1 {
color: red;
}
</style>
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>
Why is the style tag nested in the body? Is it not suppose to be inline or within the <head> tag?

i guess you can . More likely you will put css in other file . Don't worry . Look how he does next steps and you will understand what he mean . Basicaly he's styling straight away int the same file for the purpose of the video on how it works i guess.

1,740 PointsYes, you can put your style tags inline with your code. However, if you put all your style tags together in one spot, it is easier to read a complex page of code. Also it is easier to change the style of your whole page all at once. He is teaching you a basic principal that your css code can be all lumped together. Soon he will also teach you that your css code doesn't even have to be on the same page, but could be on an external file that is imported in. This makes complex pages way easier to manage.
