<header></header> is not one of the tags that need to be in all html documents. <header> would be within your <body> tags.

All you need to do is change <header> to <head>.

I wouldn't say anything is actually wrong with your code here, its just a matter of what you want to do. In this case, I believe you are meaning to use the "head" tag in an html document. Remember that the html, head, and body tags are defined in every html document.

Head generally contains things such as your webpage title as seen below, or a link to a style sheet which is not displayed to user but is interpreted by our browser.

Body our website contents, generally used for displaying the visual contents of our webpage to the user.

header, and footer tags gave you a sneak peek at using some features in html5 that provide organization for our documents but are by no means required on a webpage you will learn in future videos/challenges there are ways to organize your div's in the same way without using those tags.

For now I'd just focus on what i call the skeleton of html which is the exact code of the solution to this Challenge as seen below. Hope this helped :)

Solution:

<!doctype html>

<html>

  <head>
    <title>Webpage Title</title>
  </head>

  <body>

  </body>

</html>
