3,672 PointsI followed the example exactly. Why am I getting "Bummer! Don't forget your style tag" message?
This is what I have:
<style>
h1 { color: blue; } </style>
<h1>Something Else</h1>
Where am I going wrong?

It sounds like you are on Task 3 of the Write a CSS Selector and Property* Challenge.
At the end of Task 2 your code should look similar to:
<body>
<style>
h1 {}
</style>
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>
Task 3 asks that you set the color of the h1 element to green, correct? So you need to add the color selector inside the h1 element and assign it a property of green.
Here is the final code for that challenge.
<body>
<style>
h1 {
color: green;
}
</style>
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Courses Plus Student 7,323 PointsDo you have it in <style> tags in the head of the page, like it says?
Matt Lehn
3,672 PointsYes.

3,672 PointsAwesome! Thanks for the tip
Matt Lehn
3,672 PointsAnyhoo,
Try this again:
<style>
h1 {
color: blue;
}
</style>
<h1>Something Else</h1>
Why doesn't this work?
Ethan Lowry
Courses Plus Student 7,323 PointsYou need to put that last line of triple backticks on the line immediately below your code, not at the end of an existing line.
Also remember to leave comments, not new answers (everybody does this, unfortunately this page isn't well designed in that regard)
EDIT: Nevermind, looks like you or someone else fixed it :)
Ethan Lowry
Courses Plus Student 7,323 PointsAnd are the style tags in the <head> tags of the page? (Might or might not matter. What you have looks correct honestly so I'm looking for things the challenge might nitpick on.)
Matt Lehn
3,672 PointsAha! Was getting tripped up on placement of <body> tags. Thx for the help, guys! :-)
