Why wont my style tags work?

I really do not understand what mistakes I am making here. My code is as follows:

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

I just don't understand why it says its wrong.

Caleb, I really think you need to re-watch the video before this challenge. beginning-html-and-css/add-style-to-the-page . Nick spells it out at about the 2:00 mark exactly what you need.

Hi Caleb,

Please put

three of these `

before and after your code. It's beside the 1 on the keyboard :) Right now your code is invisible.

Hey Caleb,

The goal isn't to put the h1 element inside of the style tags. Just to put opening and closing tags before your h1 element.

Try this:

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