*I didn’t understand “forking” and submitted the first three projects before I realized they were all just the blank test code. I’m definitely appreciating the practice and the opportunity to improve, I’ve obviously got a whole lot to learn!
Welcome to the forums @professorconti. Your page looks good. Some things to revisit;
Codepen provides the boilerplate for you. It only expects the code you’d put within the body element in HTML. (No need to include the body tags). For anything you want to add to the <head> element click on the ‘Settings’ button, then HTML and add it into the ‘Stuff for <head>’ box.
That meta element belongs in the head element and going where I just pointed there’s a button to click that adds it for you.
