1,424 PointsFooter vs Header Tags
Why is the footer tag not nested and not add <p> tags vs the header tags are nested and not in the same line and add <p>?

Personally, I would have nested a p element inside of the footer regardless, but it is not required syntax-wise. footer and p are both block-level text elements, so it would likely display similarly either way.
Often a footer would include more information than that, so you would need nested elements. This is a fairly simple example, so you don't.
