My Page is blank

Hi. Does anyone know why the page I created is blank please?

Here's the html:

<!doctype html>

<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>My Page</title>
        <body>
            <div>This is a divider.</div>
        </body>
    </head>
</html>

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Sean

Your closing </head> tag wraps the body as well. It should be:

<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>My Page</title>
    </head>
        <body>
            <div>This is a divider.</div>
        </body>
</html>

You should close your head tag before opening the body tag.

Hi Pedro. Hi Oisin. I checked my code and compared it with Nick's and you're both right; I stuck the closing head tag in the wrong place. Arrrgggh! Thanks for your help. :)
