Head and Body tag does not Work.

When I type in <head></head> and <body></body> it comes back and says bummer don't forget the head tag. How is the head tag supposed to be. This is the way the instructor instructs it to be.

Make sure your set up looks like this.

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Hi David! You will need to make sure that you have followed the correct syntax when including the head tag. Tags should open like this: <head> and close like this: </head>

If you are having any more problems report back!

Hi Luke I figured ou the head and body tags. Now I have a problem with the navigation list and the picture list. I have bullets in each of the list and the navigation list is not underlined as stated in the video tutorial.

I'm glad to hear you got them working correctly.

Make sure that you have applied the <a> tags correctly to your text so that they link properly. For example:

<a href="index.html"><li>Home</li></a>
