HTML-adding a headline

Is this not how you add a headline, right after the body? <body> text here</body> <h1>Once Upon a Time</h1>?

Foday, The body tags of an html file should encompass all viewable content displayed by the browser. Here is an example:

<html>

  <head>
    <title>This is the page title</title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <h1>This is a header</h1>
    <p>This is a body of text</p>
  </body>

</html>

Hope this helps! -Charles

Excellent! Thank you, Charles Kenney. So is what and how I'm in putting the code incorrect? "<body> <h1>Once Upon a Time</h1>

The quiz is saying how I'm inputting the tag is incorrect and I've tried moving spaces and proper alignment and nothing seems to take.

There are a few errors in your html. I'm going to try my best to sort them out for you!

This is the HTML you gave me:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8"> 
    <title><Once Upon a Time</title> You left a stray tag opening after your closing title tag 
    <style> h1 {text-align:left; color:green} </style> you did a great job with implementing this css
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Once Upon a Time</h1> <----I DID THIS Blah Blah Blah <!--you did not comment correctly, this is an example-->
  </body>
</html>

If we format the html correctly and apply the suggested changes, we get this: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Once Upon a Time</title>
    <style>
      h1{
      text-align:left;
      color:green
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Once Upon a Time</h1> <!--I did this blah blah blah -->
  </body>
</html>

Here is a screenshot of the example HTMLs output.

Let me know if you need anything else! -Charles
