Check your spelling
Check you used the "tags" < and > EXACTLY where I told you to.
Check you saved your document as .htm and not .txt or .doc
Try again
THINGS TO REMEMBER
● Your document must begin with the "tags"< HTML > and end with < /HTML >
● Next comes < HEAD > which contains the < TITLE >
● Don't forget < /TITLE > at the end of the title and then< /HEAD >
● Next comes the < BODY > after which appears all the stuff you want to show on
your pages.
● Don't forget < /BODY > and finally < /HTML > at the end
● Save your HTML document with .htm or .html at the end (doesn't matter which)
TIPS
It is a good idea to write your HTML tags in CAPITAL letters.
This makes your coding easier to read and edit.
If you have problems - the first thing to do is check your spelling
