yes pb&j is right... what she meant is that the tag which says <body> shows up twice; I also found that you had a CSS stylesheet in your body tag, but it belongs in the head. try this code instead:
<html>
<head>
<title>= webmistress =</title>

your javascript code was messed up too - i looked at lissa's javascript section and you had body codes in the head tag, and vice versa, so that is now fixed.
