I'm having issue with this after 4 minutes of video, nothing is rendering since updating the header and footer.

Can anyone advise if there are any errors in the video as I've followed step by step?

It appears the function does not exist for "blog_info".

Looking at the WordPress Documentation, I would change this to "bloginfo()"
