Challenge: Canonicalization...???

Hi.

I can't figure out the code for this challenge. I saw it on the screen for a second and can't figure it out again :(

Challenge task 1 of 1

This page is actually a duplicate of another. Add a canonical tag and specify the attribute using the source page's URL: "http://mystuff.com/starwars".

Here's the html:

<html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Star Wars Merchandise</title> <meta name="description" content="Shirts and hats for fans of Star Wars"> </head> <body> <p>Star Wars Merchandise</p> <p>Shirts and hats for fans of Star Wars</p> <p>Boba Fett Shirts</p> <p>Available in white; sizes S-M-L-XL</p> <p>Darth Maul Hat</p> <p>Available in black or white at <a href="http://hats.com">Hats.com</a></p> </body> </html>

Put that below the meta tag.

<link rel="canonical" href="http://mystuff.com/starwars" />

Btw, you can always go back and re-watch the video or parts of it. I also think that before delving into SEO, you should take your time to learn HTML.

The correct answer is:

           <link href="http://mystuff.com/starwars" rel="canonical" />

You can use this this below the meta tag.

<a href="http://mystuff.com/starwars" rel="canonical" />
