How do I make an H1 element green?

I have done the following without success

<style> h1{

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

index.html 
<body>
  <style>
    h1 {}

      color: green;
    </style>
  <h1> Glen Moyo</h1>
  <style>
    h1 {}

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

Your h1 color code isn't between the {} brackets.

You also have two style tags, which isn't necessarily a problem, but you're trying to define h1 twice. Only the second one would be rendered on the page. Though, in this case both times it is being defined as green.

You're trying to add the Glen Moyo h1 tag inside the style tags. Only css styles go between style tags.

Also, it's considered best practice to add the style tag in the header (if you aren't going to use an external stylesheet).

index.html 
<head>
  <style>
    h1 {
      color: green;
    }

    h2 {
      color: red;
    }
  </style>
</head>

<body>
   <h1>Glen Moyo</h1>
   <h2>Nick Pettit</h2>
</body>

This question is common xd .

I sugest that if you have a problem like this , eg for syntax. To go backj on the video on the tab and you can try and look what he did. Because he did the same work as you so you can somehow copy him .

Hope this helps too!

Merry Chrsitmas! soon :smiley:
