The <head> element is used to specify information about the page. Below, however, you'll find several elements that DO NOT belong in the head of an HTML document. DELETE everything that should not be in the <head> element. (If you need a hint, please look at the teacher's notes for what is allowed in your <head>.)
can you help me with this? Im not understanding this one.

So HTML pages are split into two big sections: the <head>, which contains information about the page itself, and the <body>, which is the actual structure and content to be rendered onto the webpage. Things like paragraphs (<p>), headlines (<h1>, <h2>, etc.), lists (<ol>, <ul>), and so on, are elements that determine how the content is to be displayed, and as such belong inside the <body>. Does this help?

Treehouse TeacherThe <head> element generally contains information about the HTML document. These are things that are not displayed on the webpage itself. It's a little like when you buy a book and the first few pages are information about the publish, author, acknowledgements. That's information about the book.
But I highly suggest you take the challenge's advice and look at the Teacher's notes to help you make the final decision about what should be there and what shouldn't.
Good luck!
