Style Tages

I followed the video tutorial for making a simple color font change but the challenge says I forgot the style tag. What am I forgetting

index.html 
<style>

    h1 {
      color: blue;
    }

</style>
    <h1>Wendy Moon</h1>

Hi Wendy,

I've had a go of the code challenge and the final version to answer all tasks is below, you may notice it asked me for green color value but that's easily changed to what ever it decides it likes next ...

<body>
    <style>
        h1 {
          color: green;
        }

    </style>
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Hope this helps if you are not already past this point as i notice it was a while ago you posted this question!

Good Luck Craig

Hi Wendy,

Are the opening and closing body tags still in your code? I tried removing them and I got the error you did. The body tags are necessary to define the HTML document body (and all of the contents within it.)

Example Code (had to put spaces in body tags because they wouldn't appear without them... in the challenge you'd want to remove those):

< body >
    <style>
        h1 {
          color: green;
        }
    </style>
        <h1>Wendy Moon</h1>
< /body >
