Hi Julie,

The basic structure of your HTML template is bit out of sequence. The body and head closing tags need to be adjusted. Template starts with doctype as you have it, then opening and closing head tags, followed by opening and closing body tags. The last closing tag should be the HTML tag. Hope this helps.

Take care and happy coding! ?

your body tags should be outside your <head></head> tags not inside like this 

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>
