443 PointsHTML, putting paragraph in body element
The challenge is asking me to put "My first paragraph!" in the body element. Not sure what I am doing wrong...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</body>
</html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>"My first paragraph!"</p>
</body>

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

23,559 PointsNice catch. I wasn't paying enough attention to notice that. I guess I'm too tired, haha.
