I go from this:

<body>
  <style>
    <h1 {

    }>Davis Kimoto</h1>
  </style>
<body>

Which that is checked off as being okay, but then I do this to change the header to the color green:

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

The only thing it says is "Bummer null"

Hi Davis,

Look at the code below and study the order that things are laid out. In your code you have things all mixed up.

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

Davis KImoto - I think you are conflating CSS & HTML syntax.
