HTML How to Make a Website HTML First Use HTML Elements

Next challenge in "how to make a web site" is to "add head and body elements to the page," but aren't they there now?

I don't understand this question because my page already has head and body elements, doesn't it? Sorry, confused

index.html 
<!DOCtype html>
<html>
  <head><title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">Nick Pettit | Designer
    </title></head>
    <body>
      <header><h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2></header>
      <section><p>Gallery here</p></section>
      <footer><p>&copy; 2004 Nick Pettit </p></footer>
    </body>
    </html>

Hi Felicia,

You look to have added more than the challenge has asked for.

By stage 3 you should only have the following code in place:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

</html>

Stage 3 (Add the head and body elements to the page) would then look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>

  </head>
  <body>

  </body>
</html>

Hope that helps :)

If you are referring to an actual video, then yes, the elements are currently there. If you mean in a quiz, normally it has you type out the elements as part of a new code block. I.e. it isn't using the HTML code you've been writing with Nick.
