As for your code problem can't see anything that would be wrong with it. Make sure that you named your file with a .html
at the end. If that doesn't work please show me your full error by taking a screenshot of what shows up so I can further assist you.

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Mike Degurse</h1>
</body>
</html>
All of the code that I provided is the basic layout of an html page and is required. If you only have:
<h1>Mike Degurse</h1>
Then that is the reason that your code is not working.

page.
However I do understand your point and it is always to to include that in your page. If you have Sublime Text 2 and you already saved your file as a .html
then you can just type html
and the hit the tab button, and then most of the above will be generated.
