Should I just skip questions where the code-checking doesn't seem to work right? ("Bummer! Don't forget the head tag")

My head tag is right there, spelled correctly, properly opened and closed.

Thanks so much, all these responses seem to confirm that the code-checking stuff does work correctly --- but the "error messages" can be misleading.

I just went through the code challenge and everything seemed to be working just fine for me. Make sure your code looks like this for Task 3;

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

Hi Michael,

You should post your code then so someone can look at it.

Do you have both your opening and closing head tags inside the html element and before the opening and closing body tags?
