what is incorrect?

i don't understand what i am doing incorrectly in this part of the code challenge.

I believe i'm setting the character set properly and repeated my steps... what am i missing? 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta carset="utf-8">
    <title>Charlotte Ryerse</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <h1>Charlotte Ryerse</h1>
      <h2>Designer</h2>
    </header>
    <section>

It's always best to post your code so we can better help you.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>This is our title.</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>This is our HEADER text.</header>
    <section>This is our SECTION text.</section>
    This is our BODY text.
   </body>
  <footer> This is our FOOTER text.</footer>
</html>
  1. Always make sure to close every tag you open.
  2. Make sure you check caps and spaces. (They can sometimes mess up code. Especially in Ruby)
  3. In HTML the last tag opened is the first one to close. You learn this later with ul and ol tags for list.

Hope this helps you and good luck!
