table

I am trying to put a table in the body of the page, but all it comes up with is the table headings and not the table itself; what am I doing wrong? When I look at the JavaScript console, all it says failed to load resource, 404, file not found. Can someone run me over what I need to do to actually get the table to appear? Here is the code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Matt Bloomer| Designer</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>

  <h1>Matt Bloomer</h1>  
  <h2>A great person! </h2>
    </a>
  <nav>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="index.html">intelligence</a></li>
    <li><a href="about.html">kind</a></li>
    <li><a href="hooka.html">funny</a></li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
</header>
    <section>
    <p>This is my first website; I hope you like it.
      </p>
    </section>
  <table>
    <caption>My Life</caption>
    <thead>
  <tr>
    <th scope="col">Year</th>
    <th scope="col">Location</th>
    <th scope="col">Girlfriend</th>
    <th scope="col">Scool/Job</th>
    </tr>

  </thead>
    <tfoot>
      <tr>
      <td colspan="3">Strikes and gutters.</td>
      </tr>
    </tfoot>


  </table>

Hi Matt,

You look to be missing the tbody section of the table. If you view the link it will include code samples for how to format this.

On a side note, I've also just wrapped the code in your question with markdown and you look to have some duplicate tags / tags in the wrong location, for example:

<footer>
  <p>&copy; 2015 Matt Bloomer.</p>
    </footer>

should be before:

 </body>

You also then don't need the second set of:

  </body>
</html>

Hope that helps :)
