Why is this not right?

The preview looks fine, but it keeps giving me the error that I didn't add the style tag.

index.html 
<style>
  h1 {color: red;
  }
</style>

<body>
    <h1>Sherreka Burton</h1>
</body>

Ok, well I think they want you to place the style element right above the header. That is in this case the h1.

Try placing the style tags between body and h1 :)

Hi Sherreka,

what exactly is the challenge asking from you? Word by word?

Usually, if you place style tags within the html, you'd either place them within the 

<head>
<style></style>
</head>

or as a style attribute right with the corresponding item that needs styling. In this case like that: 

<h1 style="color: red;">Sherreka Burton</h1>

But I do not know the exact task you need to fulfill, so it is hard fo rme to answer your question ;)

Here are the instructions: "We're starting out with an <h1> element and a <body> element. Add a <style> element just above the <h1>."

The instructions are "We're starting out with a h1 element and a body element. Add a style element just above the header."
