Not sure what your question is, but your head and body tags are incorrect :) Body and head are not nested.

Vincent,

You have your body tag nested inside the head tag as Shawn mentions. You should open then close the head tag. Then open and close the body tag.

You have the body tag nested inside the head tag. The body tag should be outside. Try this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        /* Stuff here */
    </head>
    <body>
        /* Stuff here */
    </body>
</html>

Hope it works :)!
