Hi John,

Your title tags will need to be within head tags and your main page content within body tags.

This w3schools page gives an example which should hopefully help demonstrate.

Thanks

John,

Put your <title> tags within <head> tags. that should fix the issue.

try this out... hope I'm not just making it too easy for you

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
/* The content within the head tags will not show up in the browser */
<head> 

<meta charset="utf-8">

/* you also had these tags misspelled, your code had them as 'tile' instead of title */
<title>John Robertson | Designer</title>

</head>

/* the content of your site that becomes viewable in a browser is typically held within the 'body' tag 
<body>

<header>
  <h1>John Robertson</h1>
  <h2>Designer</h2>
</header> 

<section>
  <p>Gallery will go here.</p>
</section>    

<footer>
  <p>&copy; 2014 John Robertson.</p>
</footer>

</body>
</html>

Hope this helps, and I'm not giving away too much
