This is an important concept to understand and I stress that you should go back and rematch the video if you do not fully comprehend what is going on.

The answer is "style" without the quotes though.

An inline style can be added like this:

<p style="color: red;">This text is red because of an inline style</p>

this may be of a little help: vhttp://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningcss/qt/tipcssinlinesty.htm

Thanks, I actually figured it out moments after I typed this question. I kept putting quotes on there. maybe that's why it was saying it was wrong,

thank you for helping me out
