Can't progress to the next task: change H1 color to green. Text looks green in the preview screen but says I am wrong.

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

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

Your code looks good. Maybe refresh the page and do it again. I went through and just copy/pasted your code into mine and it went through all three perfectly.

Sometimes adding the semi-colon to the end of a rule will cause it to not pass if it's the only rule. Try submitting it without the semi-colon.

That was the only rule for this exercise. It was the browser cache, for some reason it accepted the code as-is, after I cleared the browser cache and started over from the beginning. Odd! Thanks for the advice.
