Courses Plus Student 6,468 Pointsok thank you but from the above format, where do you think i went wrong. i mearnt the format that i should follow

15,101 Pointswhat do you mean by format? what you've done is right is it not working? whats the code challenge asking you to do?
if your changing the color of the text then do as follows;
' ' 'CSS h1 { color: type the color here; } ' ' '
i used the h1 element in this example but this applies to any text elements such as ' ' 'html <a> ' ' ' ' ' ' 'html <p> ' ' ' and so on.

Courses Plus Student 6,468 Pointsyah what i have done is being rejected that is the only problem
Elizabeth Chipendo
Courses Plus Student 6,468 Pointsmay be you can help me check if there is any error that i have made
Tim Sweeney
15,101 Pointsis it requiring you to write a selector and a property?
delete the color and see what happens
the selector is the h1 and the property is the color. the color itself is the value but i hasn't asked you to assign a value yet so just delete blue for now and see if that works.

Courses Plus Student 6,468 Pointsok thank you, am i correct by putting my name
Tim Sweeney
15,101 Pointsahaaa I didn't realise but you've accidentally deleted your opening body tag.

15,101 Pointsif you want to change the color of the h1 element (which I'm guessing) just change the color blue to whatever you want like red or green for example.
