Travis,

You have quite a bit of errors in your code; you're going to want to go through more carefully and look at what you're doing.

  1. You opened a <head> tag without closing it with a </head> tag. You should add one here after the <meta> tag.
  2. Your <title> tag should be inside your <header> tag instead of before it.
  3. You closed your header tag, but put the slash at the end instead of the beginning. It should be </header>, not <header/>
  4. Your <section> tag should go inside your <body> tag, but not inside the <footer> tag.
  5. Again, you have the backslash in the wrong spot in your closing <body> tag. It should be </body>
  6. Again, </footer>

Below is how your code should look if you're trying to pass the quiz.

<!DOCTYPE html> 
  <html> 
    <head>
     <meta charset="utf-8"> 
    </head>
     <header> 
      <title>Travis Bentz | First</title>
      <h1>travisbentz</h1> 
      <h2>First</h2> 
    </header> 
    <body> 
       <section> 
          <p>art.</p>
       </section>
       <footer>
           <p>Presented by: Travis</p>
       </footer> 
    </body> 
  </html>

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> </head> <header> <title>Travis Bentz | First</title> <h1>travisbentz</h1> <h2>First</h2> </header> <body></body>
