I can't understand my mistake

Hi , I have a problem I can not see where is my mistake because my paragraph is between <body> and </body>.

index.html 
<!--This is my story, but you should insert your own story below. Use the <p> tag to start a new paragraph and </p> at the end of each paragraph.-->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body> <p> "My first paragraph!" </p> </body>
 </html>

Hi Antonia.

might be the way you wrote the "" around your text inside the <p> or could be you need to add a space between the <!--and the text. Because it looks like it takes that as a html statement. Maybe remove it entirely would prob pass then.

this code works.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>


 <head>

  </head>



  <body>
    <p> My first paragraph </p>
  </body>



</html>

You've done a good job; the checker just has a small problem. It's the first line at the top, the HTML comment. Even though it is normally ignored it's causing issues with the challenge checker. Probably because there are p tags inside the comment.

I've checked your answer, and it will pass as long as the first line is removed.
