47 PointsWhat is a style tag?
It keeps on telling me I forgot a style tag, this is the code I put in.
<style> h1 {color: blue;} </style>
<h1>David Kim</h1>
Isn't <style> the style tag? Am I missing something?

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

47 PointsOops, parts of my code did not show up when I posted.
That's more or less what I put in the code (I didn't have the <> body tag on it though). In between the <> style I typed "h1 {color:red;}"

<body>
<style>
h1 {color:green;} // now the h1 color is set to green
</style>
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

47 PointsAbraham: I added the body tag and changed the color to green and that seemed to work for some reason.
James: Also really useful to know I'll do that next time I get stuck.
I thank you sirs, you both are genii, a gentlemen, and a paragons for all that is good in the world.
