I need an example of how a headline is suppose to look?

Where the <h1> goes in the body?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Once Upon a Time</title>
    <style>
      <h1>Once Upon a Time</h1>
    </style>
</head>

<We will present the Paut Neteru Tree of Life 11 Laws on this document>
  <body></body>
</html>

Every element on an HTML page that you can see (including headlines, paragraphs, lists, tables, images... etc), belongs inside the body, not the head. Move your <h1> tags and the contents down to somewhere inside your <body> tags, which are currently empty, and you should then be able to see it displayed.

stuart is correct. the <body> element is for main contents seen on the page (images,text etc.)

an example: <!doctype html> </html> <head> <img src:href="an image.jpg"> <title>whatever the page is called</title> </head> <body> <header> <h1>main header</h1> <p>text on page> </header> <footer> </footer> </body>
