Hey there.

I see you did not close your tags, for example <html> and <footer> should first open and then </html> </footer> close.

Second of all <boby> is not an appropriate tag and its not closed either.

Think of a tag as a program that starts <> , executes (the text inside the tags and then the content between the opening and closing tagsm and closes </>.

Sometimes tags are self closing and they don't need a </> tag.

Best of luck.
