You are close but you forgot to do one thing, and that is to close your tags. The HTML tag is correct but you need to close your head tag and close your body tag as well.

Hi James,

So task 1 was to add the doctype, which you've got. Then task 2 was to add the html elements, which you've done by adding the opening and closing html tags. Now the next step is to add the head and body elements. So what you need to do is to use the opening and closing head and body tags. Currently you've got the opening tags but you are missing the closing ones.

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