It looks like you have created a number of empty elements at the start of the page body. You won't need any of those. In fact, each task in this challenge will involve placing new container element(s) around existing elements that were provided by the challenge to start with.

Then, it's mainly a matter of translating the terminology into specific elements. And for that, this little "semantic element summary" may help:

  • "a group of introductory content" :point_right: <header>
  • "a major section of navigation" :point_right: <nav>
  • "the main content of the <body> of the page" :point_right: <main>
  • "standalone sections of content" :point_right: <section>
  • "self-contained pieces of content" :point_right: <article>
  • "content that's indirectly related to the main content of the page" :point_right: <aside>
  • "information about the site, copyright data or related links" :point_right: <footer>

You have one <header> and two </header> ( One in the line 13 and the second in the line 21).
