Basic Coding Question

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>

</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>
