I have added the curly braces, not sure what the hell is wrong

I can't figure out what's wrong

index.html 
<style>
    h1{
    color: blue;
    }
      </style>
    <h1>Lipa Steinberg</h1>
<style>

   body{
    color: blue;

  }

  </style>
<body>Lipa </body>

Hi Lipa, Writing CSS rules using the curly braces needs to take place inside a separate CSS stylesheet that ends in .css and is linked to your index.html file. Good luck!

Whoops, didn't realize you were working on a challenge with inline styles - should have paid more attention to your style tags.

Hi Lipa, is this challenge the one you're having an issue with?

Your code should look something like:

<body>
    <style>
        selector {
            property: value;
        }
    </style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>
