Meagan Bowden i see you're missing the quote marks in the IMG tag as well. But for the h2 class you're closing the opening tag <h2> too early and the attribute class is after not it's not getting read

<!--- remember that attributes like classes, id, etc go inside the OPENING tag.  --->
<!--- anything after is considered text for the browser to read --->
<h2 class="card-title"> Background</h2>

<!--- Wrap the link within the src attribute in qotes " " --->
<img src="http://placeimg.com/400/400/tech" alt="Drawing of Jane Smith" class="profile-image">

<!--- these are missing the opening and closing tag i,e --->
<!--- <p class="tag name">Hello, I’m Michael.</p> --->
   class="tag name">Hello, I’m Michael.
   class="tag location">My home is Toronto, Ontario.
