I followed Nick's instructions presicly, but the checker says that I need to add some style tag, but I don't need to.

I don't know what to do. I have done everything correctly, but it says I need to add some style tag, but I don't. Even on the preview it says it looks perfect. What should I do?

index.html 
<style>

  h1 {
    color: blue;
  }  

  </style>

Hmm... the only thing that I can see that is different from the challenge is that it ask you to change the color of the h1 to green not blue. Also, do you still have the body tags? (I'm assuming you do and just didn't include them in your forum post).

As Brent Suggs eluded to the challenges are checking for very precise things so changing certain items such as the color the challenge asks for or removing elements will cause it to fail. Make sure you are applying the color green to the H1 and that you have not deleted any pre-completed code.

Try keeping the ending style tag not indented sometimes the compiler needs it exact. Also like Keith stated keep the color green. Let me know if this works or not.
