The label should immediately precede its matching form field, so the form field for the name should go directly under its label.

11,123 PointsI think i get what you mean you believe that i should separate out the labels to make it to where its easier to read

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsI believe it will help, yes! :-)
It's just about making code easier to read. The Code/browser interpreter doesn't care about it but doing this means you can read the elements and see what's missing, or not needed.
