What is wrong with this code? <style> {h1 color: green; } </style> <h1>Tim Chesonis</h1>

I followed this to the letter, when entering "blue" as instructed, it worked. When changing the color to "green", it says, "Bummer! Make sure . . . . "

Please advise.

index.html 
<style>
  {h1
    color: green;
  }
</style>

<h1>My Name</h1>

:point_right: It looks like you accidentally placed your selector inside the braces instead of in front of them.

There's a bug in the challenge checker. That should NOT have passed the second task. You might want to report this to Treehouse Support, it might get you a special "Exterminator" badge.

h1 { color: green; } Agree with Steven, you definitely should report it.

Thank you all. Wow, that was a fast response, and as you have suggested, I did report this issue to Treehouse Support.
