Hey Scott,

If you want to insert into the body of a HTML document you use the body tags. For instance in your case you would do this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Once Upon a Time</title>
    <style>
        h1 {text-align:left; color:green}
    </style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
</body>


</html>

All body content goes in between the body tags, it is also not good practice to use inline styling like you have used, but you will learn more about this in a later video, well done for starting to learn code! You have started a great Journey.

Regards,

Richard.
