Click on the CSS sheet that the question gives you and select the h1 element and type out the curly braces like this: h1{} . Then write 'color:purple;' to change the color of the h1 text to purple. Don't forget the semi-colon!

You don't. Why do you want to? The color is to categorize different types of commands. I hope this was helpfull. Can you report this best answer for me in case this was helpful? Please? Please?

Don't include the ' ' in your code, I just used them in my post. If you remove the ' from your code I think that should work. From the stuff I've been doing on the site you format put the stuff in the curly brackets on the next line, so you would write:

h1{ color:purple; }

but the color:purple; part would be on a line in between the curly braces. But I think it would work without reformatting it.
