Hi Terrell,

Im not sure as you haven't said what it is you've been asked to do... You have a few errors in your code to correct. But taking a guess id say you have make a h1 tag in the header
In that case, you've made a slight error, it should be

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Terry Bailey Designer</title>
  </head>

    <body>

      <header>
          <h1>Terry Bailey</h1>
      </header>

    </body>

Hope this helps.

Try the following and see if that doesn't help. You did a pretty good job, but sometimes proper indentation can help with reading the code and ensuring that closing tags are typed correctly.

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
       <meta charset="utf-8">
       <title>Terry Bailey Designer<title>
  </head>
  <body>
       <header>
          <h1>Terry Bailey</h1>
        </header>
   </body>
</html>

A few things:

  • No closing tags for the html, head, title, body, or header (remember, the closing tag starts with "</"!!
  • A typo in your <h1> closing tag
  • A <head> opening tag inside your header
