HTML How to Make a Website Beginning HTML and CSS Write a CSS Selector and Property

I'm doing the challenge to write a css selector and property and can't see what i'm doing wrong at all.

My challenge index looked exactly like my workspace and exactly like the instructor's. I just wanted to know if there was a way I could figure out what I did wrong.

Just a typo. Should be color: instead of color; The whole thing is like this

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

Could you post your code? I will help explain things better, as opposed to just giving you the answer.

Hey Ryan, you CSS code doesn't match your HTML code... See my points below:

No. 1: In your CSS code, you have the selector "hi", which is NOT an element. You mispelled "h1", which is the Heading 1 element (which formats "Nick Petit").

No. 2: The CSS declaration syntax is property: value... But in your code, you have a semicolon after the color property and a colon after the value. You have reversed this. It should be color: blue; and NOT color; blue:

Let me know if I'm right.
