The question says add a header element, a section element, and a footer element. then when I check my answer it says don't forget to add header, but i did, <header></header> <section></section> <footer></section> what is it that I'm missing?

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>
  </head>
  <body>
   <header></header>
   <section></section>
   <footer></footer>
   </body>
</html>

Hi Rebecca Castor,

There appears to be a validation bug in this challenge as you have an unclosed title element in your HTML structure. Simply close it and your code will pass.

<title></title>

Happy coding!

First thing I notice, your <title> tag is unclosed. Once that's closed, the other tags should resume their normal duties.
