OOPS! You put a period where it doesn't need to be. Check this out.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

</html>

Remove the period in between !DOCTYPE and html, and you should be able to get past that part.

Nope. You need to put a space in between them, but not a period. Check out this link to w3schools for more details:

They are the go-to for HTML5 formatting and rules.
