I did exactly what was explained. I created the style tags and made the selector. Still saying it is not right.

Why is it not working?

index.html 
<style>

    h1 {

      color:blue;

    }

</style>


<body>


  <h1>Daniel Stockham</h1>


</body>

internal style tags should always be within your <header></header>. You also need to give your style tag a type attribute like this, <style type="text/css"> go back to the last video in the first section titled adding css to a page, he lays out the different ways of adding css look for the part where he's talking about internal style tags.

you can also skip the style tags and put the code directly in your css. use the h1 selector like this h1 { color: red; } you shouldn't really need to do anything else that always worked for me.

This task is looking for the style tag to be within the body tags and above the h1 tag. Like this: 

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

</style>

I think it just wants your style tag to be right before your h1 tag. Like this:

<body>
    <style>
      h1 {
        color: blue;
      }
    </style>
    <h1>Daniel Stockham</h1>

I thank everyone for responding to my question, it was very helpful. I am very used to adding the style tags within the head of the html document if a separate css document is not warranted
