Make sure you're placing the first set of `h3` and `p` elements inside an element that describes self-contained (HELP)

I can't see what I do wrong in this challenge.

Hi Johnny,

I assume you're wondering about challenge part 3, where you have to position the <main> tags (all your other tags are in the right place):

Finally, place the h2 and articles inside an element that represents the main content of the <body> of the page.

Specifically, you are being asked to start the <main> tag before the <h2> and close the <main> after the articles.

However, your code closes the <main> tag immediately after the <h2> tag.

Cheers

Alex

I made some changes to your code, please check if you can spot them by yourself. There is a lot of judgement call involved in HTML semantics. Leave in comments if my code worked. You can read more about HTML semantics here.
