Each element needs an opening and closing tag, like so:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>
 Important info about your web page like the title and links to stylesheets go between the head tags.
</head>

<body>
Everything you want visitors to see goes between the body tags.
<h1>Putting text between an h1 tag will format your text like a headline</h1>  
</body>

Hi Paige

It is very simple, you need to put opening and closing tags of head and body INSIDE the html, not outside html.

Always do this way below :-)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

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

</html>
