You’re on the right track trying to include the <head> and <body> elements, but the syntax you used isn’t quite correct yet.

A few important things to remember:

  • <head> and <body> are not self-closing tags, they need both an opening and a closing tag.
  • The <head> and <body> elements must go inside one pair of <html> tags, not each in their own <html> tag.
  • The closing tags must match exactly: </head> and </body>.

Here is the correct structure the question is asking for:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
  </head>

  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Try rewriting your code using this structure. Once the tags are in the correct order, the page will work as expected.
