The CSS goes within the style tag:

<body>
  <style>
    h1 { }
  </style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

If you are just trying to make an h1 header, then just do this: 

<body>
  <style></style>

  <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

You don't use curly braces when writing HTML code.

If you want to use CSS to edit the h1 tag, then that needs to go between the style tags.

It's CSS embedded in the html file rather than in a separate file. The task requires the h1 element to be selected for this task. The next task needs the h1 text to be set to a colour.
