You already have it in the correct spot. Your issues are the extra <html> tag after the closing footer tag. Then the body tag below that needs to be a closing one(</body>). After that your code should work but I would suggest getting the opening and closing tags to line up to make your html easier to read (becomes huge once you get into full sites).
