Here's the correct code:
<body>
<style>
h1 {color:blue;}
</style>
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Anyway try opening a new workspace, create the index.html file, type your code and see what happens!

13,297 PointsYes i had a similar issue when i first started but i ended up using the starting workspace either. Just make sure you delete the original index.html and you should be good to go.

2,732 PointsHi Bridget
I haven't be doing this for very long but when I started I had a very similar problem. When you hit the review in the "How to make a website" workspace it shows you an index rather than what you typed and saved into the worksheet.
If I type what you have typed I get this displayed in the browser window:
h1{ color: blue;
My work around was to start a new worksheet so it doesn't have the top level "How to Make a website folder". Just go ahead and create the index.html file in a new worksheet - try the same code, it may well work.
Strangely enough the problem disappeared after a while, now if I go back and use the provided workspace it displays as per Nick's video :)
Hope that helps.
Good luck
Dave
