Why can I not see my work when previewing my workspace?

I've just begun the 3rd module and I can no longer preview my work. I've gone through my code line by line for errors. When clicking the preview button, a new page opens, but it is blank. The only remaining element is the title of my page on the browser page tab.

Here is my code:

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

It appears you have not posted any code except the doctype in your question, try show all the code you have.

The page would be blank if this is all on the page :)

If that is exactly how your code is written, then the problem is your "Jeffrey Hale | Designer Jeffrey Hale Designer Gallery will go here. © 2014 Jeffrey Hale." is not nested inside of any tags. For example <h1>your information here</h1>.

As Ian Conery said, you need to nest your text <p>inside a tag</p> for the workspace to render it, if you don't know this yet watch more videos before practicing yet.

You need to escape your tags like so \<h1> so we can see your code
