Hi John,

You're really close! In HTML most opening tags need to have a closing tag. Your title and head tags are good examples. The document root is the html, which you've opened, but not closed. You also don't need the other stuff in your code for this challenge. This much code is enough to pass challenge 2:

<!doctype html>
<html>
</html>
