Bootstrap row isn't displaying for some reason

For some reason, my row with a paragraph isn’t displaying on the page. Only the header area and blank page. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any suggestions would be awesome!

Thanks,
Kyle

It’s probably behind the navbar. Try adding some top padding to your <body> element.
Relevant: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/navbar/#placement

A bit off-topic, but you’re missing double quotes on the second <link>'s href attribute, and the <body>'s style attribute. The closing </head> tag is also missing.

Thanks! The link came in handy. I changed the class to sticky-top and it solved the problem. You were right, it was hidden behind the navbar!

@kevcomedia got you on this.
But the color in your editor is a dead give away that the prior element is not completed properly, which will cause some problems.
