Hi Tonetta,

You should place all your styling rules between the <style> tags in the head of your webpage. Also, you did not properly close the <body> tag. Also, if you want to declare different styles for different h1 elements, you should give them a class

```<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Once Upon a Time</title> <style> h1.red {text-align:right; color:red} h1.green {text-align:right; color:green} </style> </head>

<Body>
   <h1 class="red"> Once Upon A Time</h1>
   <h1 class="green"> Once Upon A Time</h1>
</Body>
</html>

Notice the embedded css in the head. It will affect all h1 elements on your page.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Once Upon a Time</title>
    <style>
        h1 {text-align:right; color:red}
    </style>
</head>
<body>
        <h1>Once Upon a Time</h1>
</body>
</html>
