Hi Jamie,

You are basically there!

Try simplifying your code and only include the necessary parts. Here, you don't need a paragraph within the head tag. Also, once you write the code for the body tag, you don't have to repeat that code. So your code should look something like this:

<! DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>

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

  </body>
</html>

Cheers!

Hey, thank you so much. It seem so obvious once you broke it down for me.
