I cannot get the <h3>New Subsection</h3> to appear beneath the <h2>Background</h2>. Appears in middle of page.

Instead, it appears at the middle of the page between the Background and Goals section. Whether or not I use a <div> tag to separate the two headings doesn't change the outcome. Here is my code:

         <h2>Background</h2>
        <ul>
        <li>I’m an aspiring web designer who loves everything about the web. I've lived in lots of different places and have worked in lots of different jobs.</li>
          .<li> I’m excited to bring my life experience to the process of building fantastic looking websites.</li>
        <li>I’ve been a professional cook and gardener and am a life-long learner who's always interested in expanding my skills.</li>
         <li>Fourth list item.</li>
        </div>
        <div>
        <h3>A New Subsection</h3>
        </div>

    Thanks!

After the last list item there is a closing div tag ("</div>") but it should be a closing tag for the unordered list instead ("</ul>").

For future questions, be sure to use Markdown formatting to properly display any code.

Thanks for the help. That fixed the issue. However, now all sections, <h2>Background</h2>, <h3>New Subsection</h3>, and <h2>Goals</h2> Now display in a single column as opposed to Goals being on the right hand side of the page. Thanks for the information regarding Markdown formatting. I'll have to learn about that now as well. :) I'm very new to this and I am learning a great deal on the fly. I don't like the Workspace text editor nearly as much as Video Studio Code.

Steven, never mind. I found where the missing </div> tag was. I'm back on track. Your reply was quick and helpful. Scanning code is like learning a new language. :)
