Help with HTML code challenge

Hi all, The challenge is asking me to

"Add a title tag to the head of the document containing the content "Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company"

On line 5, under the meta tag, I answer.

<title>"Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company"</title>

I am being told that the answer is wrong. "Bummer! The text inside the title tag should match the instructions exactly."

P.S. In my answer I am using the open and close title tags but they do not show in this forum post.

Can anybody figure out why my answer is wrong? Help!

take the quotes off between the title tags if they are there. 

<title>Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company</title>

Thanks Stone, that was the problem, I took the instruction too literally and was putting the quote marks in the tags.

Thanks again

Hi Patrick:

Remember that title tags aren't like a meta tag, they aren't self closing. You need an opening and closing title tag, with the content in between.
