emma pearce
1,712 Pointsok nicolas i will try thank you
Carolyn H
1,369 PointsI realized mine did that as well! do you have it written so that it says h1{ (then press enter and write on a new line colour: green; and then on the following line the closing bracket }
Nicolas Wong
4,528 PointsMost programers prefers to do it that way Carolyn did it. Here's an example on how you can do it
h1 {
color:orange;
}
