Hey John,

You can click the back arrow on the right hand side of the screen to go back and review a previous step or video in that stage.

Here are a few things to remember:

  1. You always start with your doctype element, <!DOCTYPE html>
  2. The doctype is followed by the html element
  3. Nested inside of your root element is your head and body elements
  4. Nested inside of your head element is documents meta data like the charset, title tag, etc.
  5. Nested inside of your body element is the content and organization of the webpage

You'll get the hang of setting up the HTML page and the order of the elements after doing it a few times. Good luck.
