I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

After the textarea, create a button element. Between the button tags, write the text "Submit Comment". Don't add any attributes yet.

Bummer: You need to add a <button> element inside the <form> element.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="index.html" method="post">
     <input type="text" id="name" name="user_name">
      <textarea id="comment" name="user_comment" </textarea>
     <button "Submit Comment" </button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

you have some more brackets that you don't close out properly, so give those a clean up :)
