That selector in your stylesheet should produce a heading of size h1 and text color of blue. What is the problem--is it not displaying? Do you have this declaration in a linked stylesheet or in an embedded stylesheet? (in the header of your document you could put <style> h1 {color: blue;} </style)

Liban;

Welcome to Treehouse!

A couple of things. First make sure that your h1 selector is inside your style tags, like so:

<style>
    h1 {}
</style>

Also, for the code challenge, at least when I took it, you need to have the color of the h1 element set to green.

Post back if you are still stuck and happy coding!
