h1 {
}
</style>
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
You didn't select the h1, and the code challenge didn't ask for properties to be put in just yet
Also note that the style element should be outside all other HTML tags except the body and head tags.
I hope this helps. ~Alex

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Alicia! You're doing just fine! First, your <style> element is supposed to be added above the h1 element, not inside it. Also, you've not selected an element, but you're supposed to select the h1 and you've attempted to add a background color where the challenge hasn't asked for it.
To select an element inside a <style> element just type the name of the element and an open and closed curly brace. I will show you here how to select a paragraph element and hopefully you'll be able to see how to select an h1 element.
<style>
p {
}
</style>
I have now selected a paragraph element and any rules that will be applied to that paragraph will be written between the open and closed curly braces.
Hope this helps, but let me know if you're still stuck!
