You have to put this inside <style></style>

<style>
h1 {
  color: blue;
}
</style>

I do have it under style but idk why it isn't showing that here. <style> h1 { color: blue; } </style> <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>

I copied this off the quiz i had to take where it said it was right but when i paste it into my work space it still won't work..

Hey Tapan,

As Akak says previously, if you are working with your HTML doc, you will need to wrap your styles within a style tag. This tells the doc that that section is CSS.

Does that make sense?

Let us know, and we would be happy to continue the conversation :)
