Is what your code should look like. Don't hesitate to go back and watch videos :)

Good luck with the rest of the course, Max.

Put your style rules in between the style tags eg:

<body>
  <style>
      /* your rules here */
  </style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Max;

I believe you are almost there. Try

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