page not reflecting CSS

I am following all the video steps and after linking my css code with the html, the font still won't change colors. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

HTML: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Kobe Lovan's Resume</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="resume.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <img src="images/me.png" alt="a picture of me">
    <h1>Kobe Lovan, Web Developer</h1>

        <li>html, css, and java</li>

    </ul>
  </body>

Hi there, Kobe Lovan ! It looks like you have a stray . that is throwing things off. There shouldn't be a period/full stop before color. Try the following:

h1 {
  color: blue;
}

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
