Your code structure should be like:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>This is title of a page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>My first paragraph!</p>
  </body>
</html>

html, head and body tags should be unique on your page. title should be inside head tag.

More about DOM structure you can read here - http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom.asp or here - http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom_navigation.asp.

Also you need to know:

  • html is the root node
  • html has no parents
  • html is the parent of head and body
  • head is the first child of html
  • body is the last child of html

Usualy DOM structure looks like:

The title element should go inside the head element. The head comes before the body element, right after the html element.
