Hi Scott,

You're almost there.

What you're looking for is a HTML structure like this 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
       <title></title>
</head>
<body> 
       <h1> This is Scott Diallo</h1>

       <p>  I can tell I am going to be great programmer</p>
</body>
</html>

The head element and the body element are separate. They're sibling elements, so they work at the same level in the document structure but are children of the html element.

The head element is a place for your css and script links to go along with the title element, but with elements like h1, they're block level elements. They're content. H1 is a level 1 heading.

Hope this helps :)

Every site has <html> at the top of page , then <body>, after that you can include the <h1> tag or any other tags then close </body> then </html>

Think of this code like a living being known as html, with a - head, body and, maybe footer

<html> <head> </head>at the top <body> </body> <footer> </footer> if necessary
