I've reviewed other's questions and answers but i'm either missing something or have a different problem. Here is my code so far, thanks in advance for any help:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

<style>
footer {
color: green;
}

I think the problem is that the poorly formed html, means that the link doesn't close and the blue style of the anchor escapes its bounds.

<a href="index.html" <h1>Joseph Olsen</h1>should probably be:
<a href="index.html"> <h1>Joseph Olsen</h1>and
<img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="twitter logo"</a>should probably be:
<img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="twitter logo"></a>
