Hi there,

You need to move your body tags to after the closing head tag. Your h1 then goes inside the body.

Make sense?

I added come asterisks & comments in your code to show you what to move where.

OK, let me try to explain.

You start the challenge with this code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Once Upon a Time</title>
    <style>
        h1 {text-align:left; color:green}
    </style>
</head>



</html>

The challenge asks you to Start by writing an opening and closing body tag below the closing head tag, and above the closing html tag.

So, that code needs to be inserted where I've indicated below, i.e. after the closing head tag, </head>:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Once Upon a Time</title>
    <style>
        h1 {text-align:left; color:green}
    </style>
</head>

<!-- HERE!! -->

</html>

You have added the body tag inside the style part of the html code.

You have written the correct code with this:

      <body>
          <h1>Once Upon a Time</h1>
      </body>

But you have put it in the wrong place. Move that block of code to where I wrote <!-- HERE!! --> and your code will work.

Steve.
