Hi @matthewgrathwol !

You are using incorrect syntax here.
This HTML

That HTML should not be in your CSS.

Remember that this is the basic syntax for CSS selectors.

selector {
styles go here
}

Make sure to follow that basic syntax for the body

3 
body {background=color: brown

}

I tried this and it didn’t work. I just got done with HTML, and am now learning CSS. I don’t know syntax or anything, etc. I’ll keep trying and ask questions.
