Inserting a new paragraph between bodies.

Having trouble with an HTML module. The problem is to insert a new paragraph between the bodies.

This keeps coming up.

Your paragraph needs to go between the <body></body> tags.

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>

  <title>Argh</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">

 <style>
    h1 {text-align: center; color: green}
    h2 {text-align: center; color: pink}
 </style>

</head>

<body>


  <h1>Peg Leg</h1>
    <h2>By Joy Kesten</h2>

  <p> My first Paragraph! </P>


</body>
</html>

It's hard to say for certain considering your <p> tags are within the body paragraph, but I would try removing the white space after <p> and before </p>. Technically I believe html should still be able to read it but I've seen this cause issues in a few select cases.

Remove the comment at the top of the code.

The

<!--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.-->

it's registering the p tags in that for some reason and saying its not in the body tag.
