Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

   **Your code so far**

/* file: index.html */
<!DOCTYPE html>

We started with this:

body {
  background-color: burlywood;
}

The instructions were:

Comments in CSS look like this:

/* comment here */

In your style sheet, comment out the line containing the background-color property and value, so you can see the effect of only styling div element. This will make the background white again.

And you did this:

body {
<div> background-color /*comment here*/ : burlywood; </div>
}

That <div> stuff, you didn’t need to add. The point is that that with this commented out that you will see div styling. And “comment here” is just for explanatory purposes - it is not normally part a comment. You put /* before and */ the thing we want to be a comment. A comment can be some text to explain something to future programmers or as a way to “hide” code so it doesn’t do anything, what we are doing here.

For example, if I had this:

h1 {
  color: red;
  background-color: blue;
}

And someone told me to comment out the color attribute (so it will have no effect), I would do:

  /* color: red; */
  background-color: blue;
}
