Check Your Work

Compare your work to this sample. If some of your headings do not appear correct, be sure to check that the starting tag and ending tags have the same heading level.

As an optional exercise, take a look at what happens when you make a typographical error. Open your HTML document in the text editor and delete the slash (/) in the <h1> tag, after the header A History Of The Internet:

Save the changes and reload into your web browser. Without the correct ending of the h1 tag, your web browser interprets all of the succeeding text as part of that header! After trying this you should go back to your document and re-insert the slash in the correct spot.
