      Total Nube here. I am not sure why my p{ } format will not show color: red as a command. The video I am watching seems to be identical and it is working for him. I saved file as index.html and as an html file.

      "<!DOCTYPE html>
      <html>

      <head>
      <meta charset=“utf-8”/>
      <title>Introduction to CSS</title>
      <style type=“text/css”>
      p{
      color: red;
      }
      </style>
      </head>
      <body>

      <p> Style Me!</p>
      <p> Style Me!</p>

      </body>

      </html>"

        This is a forum for the editor Notepad++, not whatever you happen to be using the editor for.

        However, that’s an easy one: stop using smart quotes. Changing your code to the following worked for me.

        <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html>
        
        <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8"/>
        <title>Introduction to CSS</title>
        <style type="text/css">
        p {
        color: red;
        }
        </style>
        </head>
        <body>
        
        <p> Style Me!</p>
        <p> Style Me!</p>
        
        </body>
        
        </html>
