I think I have written the first CSS example as it was described and rechecked it several time. The program will not let me pass. What do I do?

color: blue;
} </style> <h1>Sam Beasley</h1>
I tried moving </style> to the end and still no good. This is exactly how it was done in the example. Unless I am just blind.

I think this is what you want inside the body

127 Pointsthat is correct..... like I said. When I check it, it is spelled out and blue. So I assume that it is correct. I just can't get the program to let me past that exercise to progress. Got to run for now Scott. Check you again when I get to the house. Thanks for your efforts so far.

7,148 PointsWhenever you are back post the whole code:
Just put three ` (the key above tab and beside number 1) in a row before your code and then put three on the row after your code so I can take a look at the whole thing

127 PointsThanks for your help. I retyped it for the 10th time and it finally took it. Onward and upward.
