540 Pointswhat paragraph do I need to put between the <body> and </body> tags?
Inside your body element, put in a paragraph that says, "my first paragraph"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html></html>
<head></head><body></body><html></html>
<!--my first paragraph--><p><body></body>

Treehouse Moderator 28,720 PointsThe point they are trying to test is whether you understand the major tag elements of a page, the opening and closing tags, element tags, and nesting.
In this case, the paragraph tags are nested in the body (means they are in-between <body> and </body>), and the paragraph contents are nested between paragraph tags.
Similar to below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>My first paragraph!</p>
</body>
</html>

Put the paragraph between the body tags. The example I posted earlier in this thread contains a possible solution to the challenge. In reality, all the tags can be on the same line and it is still correct, but by convention, designers will split and indent for readability.
<body><p>My first paragraph!</p></body>
Good luck with HTML it is a great first step to becoming a designer!
