you need your

 <!DOCTYPE html>
 <html>
 <head> </head> 
<body> </body>  
</html> 

tags , i recommend you to watch the video again.

It won't work without the head. So, you need to add the doctype in the first line (always goes there) then write html, head, and body. Also, remember adding the closing tags, or there will be an error

See this code: https://gist.github.com/franc014/041bd6c2b8dfe7cc4aaf or download the project files and please review it again for any error you could possibly have made. Also, show more code to better help you.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title> Your Name | Designer </title> </head> <body> <h1> Your Name </h1> </body> </html>

This should be your structure of your code.

i got the text written between the title tags on my page instead of in the search space
