Bummer! Your paragraph needs to go between the <body></body> tags.

why is it saying: Bummer! Your paragraph needs to go between the <body></body> tags.

when my paragraph is in fact between the body tags?

index.html 
<!--This is my story, but you should insert your own story below. Use the <p> tag to start a new paragraph and </p> at the end of each paragraph.-->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  </head>

<body>
  <h1>Peg Leg</h1>
    <h2>By Mitchell Cohen</h2>

  <p>My first paragraph!</p>
   </body>


  </html>

Maybe what the exercise is asking it's just to write the paragraph inside the body and not the <h1> and <h2>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    </head>
  <body>
    <p>My first paragraph</p>
  </body>
</html>

That is correct. The challenge never asked for any header tags. When you add something that the challenge didn't ask for, you will receive a Bummer! because the code checker is looking for very specific things. Remember, code challenges are going to be very specific and very picky. :)

Keep coding! :dizzy:
