HTML How to Make a Website HTML First Create the Content Containers

My HTML code did not work properly when viewing on the web page.

I typed in the code in both exercises twice making sure I followed all the instructions and indentations. My final web page does not look like the one that Nick shows at the end of the tutorial.

This is my code: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit | Designer</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
      <h2>Designer</h2>
    </header>
    <section>
      <p>Gallery will go here.</p>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2014 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

I watched the Beginning HTML and CSS. I worked on the first two sections, Introduction to HTML and the Portfolio Project and Write an HTML element. Have you worked on these sections?

Really? Thank you so much for your feedback and help. I just got confused because when I tried to view the final product in a web page, it did not show the body or title name, it only showed heading 1. I will continue with the tutorial and hopefully my coding gets better. :) Thank yo so much again.
