You haven't performed the last task yet.

The instructions for task 6 say, "Add a header element, section element, and footer element."

I see you have created an h1 element, which are often referred to as "headers" when discussing the typography of the page, but that's not the same thing as an actual <header> structural element. And you still have the other two elements to create with it.

In addition to Steven's correct reply, your charset is not correct (which apparently the code checker is letting pass?) Tagging: Nick Pettit for a fix.

It should be UTF-8 not uts8- ... just an FYI. :)

:dizzy:

Head vs *Header vs "heading" *

<html>
  <head>  //Head comes before the body
  <title> Page Title shown on the tab goes here </title>
  </head>
<body>
       <header>  //Header is within the body can contain your main title & navigation
            <h1> My Heading often seen as the more visible page title</h1>  //heading (also see h2 --> h6)
            <nav>
               <ul>
                    <li> Home </li>
                    <li> About </li>
               </ul>
            </nav>
         </header>
         <main>
           <section>
              </section>
        </main>  
       <footer>Sponsored by Hider.com</footer>
</body>
