After the Doctype, you need a few more tags

<!Doctype html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<!-- the site's html goes in here-->
</body>
</html>

Roger that... Are you trying to create a heading for the html page, or are you trying to create the page title?

Page titles (appear in the browser tab, history, and/or top of the browser window) go in the head, and need appropriate tags around them, while page headings (actual headings/title that show up on the web page itself) go in the body section, and need appropriate tags wrapped around them.

If that's confusing, I'd suggest re-watching the video and/or right-click on any web page, and then select "Inspect Element" (chrome or firefox -- way better) or "View Source" (if you must). Look at how the code is structured, and see if you can figure it out.

Also w3schools.org should have some good info on basics
