Courses Plus Student 6,069 PointsHow is this not correct way? The font color is green on the webpage. Not sure why I'm writing CSS in my HTML document.
Don't understand how this isn't correct...?
<body> <style> h1{ color= green; }
</style> <h1>Nick Pettit</h1> </body>

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

Courses Plus Student 6,069 Pointsmy code still is not working. This is so frustrating, because it's such a simple task and its not working.

<body>
<style>
h1 {
color: green;
}
</style>
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

6,577 Pointstechnically the line <h1><font color="green">Nick Pettit</font></h1> is correct . The problem is that's not exactly what this exercise is asking for. It wants you to create a rule inside your style element like this h1{ color:green}.
