What am I doing wrong? I’ve tried this 1000 different ways.

I can’t get past this question. I’ve tried <article> and <section> in several variations around the h3 and p lines.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Blog</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Blog!</h1> 
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Articles</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Recent Work</a></li>            
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>


    <h2>The Main Articles</h2>   

    <section>
    <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>
    </section>

    <section>
    <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>    
    </section>

    <section>
    <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>
    </section>

    <footer>

Hi Pamela,

From the outside looking in, it looks like you're trying to group multiple items of content in section tags rather than article ones. Each different area of content would probably be best suited with an article tag. You would use section as a container for multiple article tags.

Let's have a closer look at the code challenge.

Group each set of h3 and p elements using an element that describes self-contained pieces of content.

So you've got 2 sets of repeating elements each with uinque content. This sounds to me like just the place for an article tag. So group them together like this.

<article>
   <h3></h3>
   <p></p>
</article>

Let me know if you need further help from here. :)

That worked! Thanks so much! I’m still not 100% sure the difference between article and section tags.
