HTML - adding the header and body element exercise

I written the following code to add the header and body element but I'm not sure where I'm going wrong? Can someone advise on the write format of the code?

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <header> <meta charset="utf"-8> <title>Email Marketing | Tool</title> </header> <body> <header> <h1>Rene Daniel</h1> </header> </body>

</html>

Hi Rene, Your basic HTML structure should be as bellow. Though you need to know how you want to display "Email Marketing | Tool Rene Daniel", but for the purpose of this exercise I would suggest you put it all in a paragraph <p> section.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
    <title>Rene Daniel's email marketing tool</title>
</head>


<body>

 <p>Email Marketing | Tool Rene Daniel</p>

</body>

</html>

I hope this helps.

if you want the header on the page, use

<h1>Header</h1>

you can change the number in the tag to make it smaller. 1 is largest, 6 is smallest.
