The instructions for task 3 say "Write the opening and closing head and body elements between your <html> tags.", but it looks like you only added the closing tags. And you somehow got an extra <html> in there too.

So what you'd add for this task might look like this:

  <head></head>
  <body></body>

Yeah. I wrote the answers for Tasks 3 and 4 because I wanted to go the extra mile! I hope you are not upset with me because I answered her after you had done so. I just wanted to make it all clear writing.

I think most students have a better learning experience by solving the answer themselves with a few hints vs. seeing the complete answer. But learning styles can vary so we can see which style Aliah Scroggins prefers based on which is chosen as "best answer".

Oh no! Thank you, Steven, for making me aware of it... I'll go back and read the code of conduct.

I don't think it's in there, but in the post I linked to the answer was redacted by the moderator with a comment. Besides, Aliah is only asking for help with task 3 and what you posted answers task 4.

Steven, I agree! I finally see your point of view. Well, It's been posted for like 7 hours now. From the looks of it, despite our correct answers, it seems that neither your or I will be getting "Best Answer" :) Best regards,

Be patient, not everyone studies all day, and some students are in parts of the world where most people are sleeping. :wink:
