I just started with almost zero coding experience. I am on the HTML track and have coded the style tag and it works in preview but for some reason is not approving it.
<style>
h1 { color: blue;
} </style> <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
it keeps saying, "Bummer! Don't forget your style tag."
what am I doing wrong?

This is the solution for the problem:
<style>
h1{
color: blue;
}
</style>
Tell me if it works fine with you.
