Hi there! If you've passed step 3 and are on to step 4, then something has changed. Your <section> tags are no longer where they're supposed to be. In the body, we have a header and a footer. The section is supposed to come between the header and the footer (per challenge instructions). And there's only supposed to be one. You have two. Your problem isn't that anything in the wrong place so much as you have one extra of something. So let's look at a skeleton without any text:

<body> <!-- start body -->
   <header> <!-- start header-->
   </header><!-- end header -->
   <section><!-- start section-->
   </section><!--end section -->
   <footer><!-- start footer-->
   </footer><!-- end footer-->
</body>

The solution to your problem is to remove the <section> and </section> that you.have inside your header. You have essentially this:

<body>
  <header>
    <section></section> <!-- this section should be removed -->
  </header>
  <section>
  </section>
  <footer>
 </footer>
</body>

When I remove the extraneous section, your code passes!

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Weird that it would pass task three that way but have to remove for task 4. Once again, you saved the day!! You rock!
