"your h2 element should be blue."

Tell us what’s happening:
I followed the video to the letter, but it still keeps popping up with “your h2 element should be blue.” Am I missing something here?

  **Your code so far**

<style>
h2 {color: blue;}
</style>

<main>

Challenge: Use CSS Selectors to Style Elements

Link to the challenge:

Okay. Lets Look at the Tutorial:
You might want to RESET the tutorial.



FIRST: The tutorial asks us to Delete our h2 element’s (INLINE) style attribute:

This is the <style> attribute:
(Inline styling is a <style tag > used directly in the HTML.)


<h2 style="color: red;">CatPhotoApp</h2>

To delete the Styling looks like this:

<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>




SECOND: Create a CSS style block.
A CSS style block is formatted like this:

  h2{
  color:red;
  }




A CSS Style Block must be placed
between an Opening and Closing Style tag:

<style>
  h2{
  color:red;
  }
  </style>



THIRD: Turn all h2 elements blue.

<style>
  h2{
  color:CHANGE THE COLOR TO BLUE;
  }
</style>

<Style> tags are placed in the <head> section of the Document. But in the freeCodeCamp interface, we usually place them here:

Just to be clear, you have deleted the h2 element. Add it back.
