Hi Kris,

There are some problems with the structure of the markup. You need to put all of your styles within one style tag, which goes in the head tag at the top of the page. Then anything which describes the content h1, p, div tags, etc, go inside the body tag.

This is a general structure you should follow -

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Title of page</title>
    <style>
     h1 {
       color: red;
     }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Some header text</h1>
  </body>
<html>

Hope that helps.

Ede

you need to put the CSS inside the style tag. Also you only need one open body tag and one closing body tag. the open body tag should be at the start of the HTML and the closing should be at the end of the HTML. One last thing, all HTML like your h1 tags should not go in between your style tags. I hope this helps.
