</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header"></h1>
    <p class="profile-text"></p>

The communication problem could be just a temporary network issue. But the code does not pass the final task because there is a space missing from the string following the word "Student".

Also, it would be good practice to get into the habit of ending statements with semicolons, even though it's optional at the end of a line.

Semicolons are recommended after any statement, and required if another statement follows on the same line.

The space after student worked. Thanks Steven. And, I will include semicolons in the future. Thanks. Will it always work after any statement?
