Hi Adam,

I think they are looking for the article tag, and they are not asking for a wrapping div around them.

I hope that helps,

Jonas

Hi Adam,

you should use an element that describes self-contained pieces of content.

for <h3> and <p> it's the article element and for <ul> it's the aside element. The element that represents the main content of the body is the <main> element.

Try it like this! 

 <main>
    <h2>The Main Articles</h2>   
    <article>
    <h3>My Favorite HTML Courses</h3> 
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget <a href="#">feugiat ante faucibus</a>.</p>
    </article>
    <article>
    <h3>10 Handy CSS Features</h3> 
    <p>Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et <a href="#">ultrices posuere</a>.</p>    
    </article>
    </main>
    <aside>
    <h3>Follow Me on Social Media:</h3>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Twitter</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Facebook</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">LinkedIn</a></li>     
    </ul>
    </aside>
