HTML How to Make a Website Beginning HTML and CSS Write a CSS Selector and Property

Challenge task 2 of 3

Now, write CSS that will select the h1. Perhaps I have bitten off more than I can chew. I do not understand. The h1 was the element selector. Am I selecting h1 to also turn the color blue? Sorry, so new at this, don't mean to sound stupid.Cynthia

Thanks Richard, still not sure I understand. I am going to walk away from this for awhile and think about it. Perhaps it will help. Cynthia

Anything inside the selector that you define will change to the setting you have typed, don't feel stupid we were all there once :),

h1 {
 color: blue;
}

This will select all the pages h1 elements to do it inside another element you do it like this:

.box h1 {
  color: blue;
}

This is just an example you can use any classes or id's.
