Hi Kim,

Everything looks good except you forgot to close the <textarea> and <button> tags. HTML tags can be closed by a slash symbol just in front of the second tag name. Example: 

<tagname></tagname>

Every tags in HTML should be closed except few tags which are known as self closing tags like 

<img />

I hope it helped.

Happy learning
