Ah-ha!

<title>hello<title/>

You're closing tag seems to have messed up the rest of your code.

I always forget closing tags, it's a very common error, so if ever come across an error and you don't know what you've done wrong, always check for closing tags :)

All the best

Hi Mauricio, 

// Your 
<title>hello<title/> 
// should be
<title>hello</title>

Happy Coding,

Mark
