Treehouse TeacherHi there! Your code isn't wrong, but the comment is causing the challenge to fail on step 2. Oddly enough, it doesn't cause step 1 to fail. Code challenges can be very strict and it's always best to try not to do anything they haven't explicitly asked for. Simply remove the comment and continue the code challenge.
Happy coding!

986 PointsHey Thank you Nicholas :))
Honestly, I know that my code is correct lol I just got an error even if I code my entire HTML page properly.
Here is the error I got :
"Bummer! Don't put your <html> tag before the <!DOCTYPE html> tag - the doctype needs to be the first tag in your document!"
Which is not true... I properly placed the doctype before my html balise. So I was wondering if got this issue? I want to pass this course and complete everything :)
Thanks, Ylan
