Everyone knows college kids are prone to procrastination and Facebook uses this to its full advantage by providing a medium for college kids to procrastinate together. This increases the amount of procrastinating that college kids do by ten fold. Long story short Facebook is ruining America's education system and yes I do have Facebook running in the background. I'll write up a list of all the reasons why Facebook is bad right after i check my notifications.</p> <p><center>reasons why Facebook is bad</center></p> <li>over 90% of college students use facebook <li>facebooking while studying has been proven to lower students grades <li>social media is addicting <p><center><img src=”http://felipeguimaraes.cc/blog/wp-c… <p><center></center></p> <p><center><a href=”http://www.facebook.com/”>Name of link</a></center></p> </html>

When I open it I see a blue page with formatted text (Big header, bullet points at the end) and a place for the image and a link below it. Is that not what you want? If that's not what you're seeing, are you definitely saving it as a .html file and not whatever the default format of your text editing software e.g. .txt?

You didn't make your list properly. You need to enclose <li> elements between either <ol> or <ul> tags in order for them to render properly. Also, you don't need to put <h1> inside of <p>...it's kind of redundant and defeats the purpose of <h1> to <h6> tags.

It shows up as a webpage to me. It has text on it. That's what a webpage is. Your picture does not show up because it looks like it was cut off. But all your HTML is correct. You should close your list tags. <li> </li> You should also state what they are. ol = order listed ul = underordered list I'm surprised it's actually showing up on mine but some browsers might not read it correctly. <ol> <li></li> </ol> Also, the only thing that goes between the <head> is any javascript or the <title> tags. Not actual text.

This happens a lot when people use textedit as their text editor. Its a setting that you will have to change. Go into TextEdit > Preferences. Then make sure that plain text is selected. Then save your file with the html extension for example myFile.html. You should really use a better text editor for your Mac. TextEdit is as basic as they come. Try any of these. They are free to download. Text Wrangler - http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/download.html Tincta - http://mr-fridge.de/software/tincta/index.php (I haven't tried this one but it looks alright) These editors have syntax highlighting which makes it easier to view your html code. Also try fixing your errors like what others have said.
