Try to be clear, avoid typing 'all' the code in the title. Use the markdown sheet, that's better and easier to read the code you post, even more when you'll have bigger issue to solve. :)

The mistake probably comes from the way you typed the selector, as It's a CSS selector, you don't need to type it as a tag, I mean if you want to select '<h1>' elements, just type 'h1' as selector.

Here is the code

<body>
  <style>
    h1{
      color:green;
    }
  </style>

  <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Hope it helps.
