Your tag syntax is not correct.

Also, the instructions didn't say to add an additional h1 element. You should probably not do that.

But they do say "Add a <style> element just above the <h1>." So be sure to put it first, and also remember to close it with a matching </style> end tag. Then when you get to task 2, put the CSS code between those tags.

I hope not! Remember that the general syntax for a CSS rule is:
selector { property: value; ...(more properties and values) }

And you can always review the video if you need a refresher.

Steve, This is what I have below. However, it's still not allowing me to proceed further.

<h1>Nick Pettit</h1> <h1>Adeniyi Aderibigbe <style></h1> <h1>Adeniyi Aderibigbe <style> {CSS} </style> <style> h1 { Color; Green; }

</style> <h1> Adeniyi Aderibigbe </h1>

It's not allowing me to proceed further: <style> h1 { Color; Green; }

</style> <h1> Adeniyi Aderibigbe </h1>

You nearly had it this time. But the character that separates a property from its value is a colon (":").
