HTML How to Make a Website HTML First Use HTML Elements

The text editor insists that I add header element between body tags, but I already have. Still getting "Bummer" warning.

I have inserted a header element inside the body tags as were demonstrated in the video, but the text editor is telling me that it is incorrect.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Kent Cline | Photographer</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Kent Cline</h1>
  </body>



</html>

Hi Kent,

You actually need to use a <header> element for your code. So, it should be:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Kent Cline | Photographer</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header></header>
    <section></section>
    <footer></footer>
  </body>
</html>

In the code provided, there isn't any header tag. h1 is not a header tag, It's literally "header", you use it like div tag.
