Broken!!

I add a style tag and no matter what I do it tells me to add a style tag... I try just an opening tag, opening and closing tag, opening and closing on different lines, with spaces between...., with a h1 selector, a <style /> tag etc. etc. Nothing works .. 'Bummer!'

Hugo Leeney - The tasks ask you to set the color of the h1 to green not blue.

This rather unlikely bit of code fixes it.. This sucks. Tags the lesson doesn't introduce, style tags in places they shouldn't be ... good thing I know html and css already.

<body>
    <style>
    h1 {
        color: blue;
    }
    </style>
  <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Not sure how you're typing your style tag out but the finished code looks like this once you've done all 3 tasks:

<body>
  <style>h1 {color: green;}</style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>
