Originally all of the elements are commented together. You should remove that comment, then comment the `<h1>` and `<p>` elements individually.

@Dpmunro,  
html comment syntax is as follows:

```auto
When you want to comment something you put <!-- Commented out code -->

```

Make sure you use a double ‘-’ or it won’t identify it as a comment

Take another look at your code and you should see what you missed.
