track type=narrowPeak Peak name="Somite narrowPeak" description="Somite narrowPeak"         
 Changed it and still get this error:

Where is this extra "Peak" coming from?!? Just use EXACTLY what I wrote with ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGES. If you get an error message then it is because you did NOT follow these instructions.

<p>Any suggestions?</p>

Could you please forward the first error and  provide some context to your study for example explaining the data behind each column. Sometimes minimal context questions are answered, but usuaully they are ignored.. The title doesn't make grammatic sense  'visualize called narrowPeak files in UCSC Genome browser?'

Headers should not contain tabs:
track type=narrowPeak name="Somite narrowPeak" description="Somite narrowPeak"

Ensure that you have NO tabs on that line.
