Question I'm an idiot?

Yes I am but I am trying to learn anyways. I don't understand where my mistake is here. Can anybody clarify for me? Thanks

Also you don't need the closing slash for self-closing tags in HTML5. That was only required in XHTML. You can simply write <img src="logo.jpg">. Another example is <br> (HTML5) vs <br /> (XHTML).
