Welcome to Treehouse, Kiran!

Is that all of your html? If it is you are missing the opening head tag at the top as well as the html tags. You should also include the doctype. Something like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta Charset="Utf-8">
    <title>Kiran Siddiqi | Designer</title>
</head>
    <header>
      <h1>Kiran Siddiqi</h1>
      <h2>Designer</h2>
    </header>
    <section>
      <p>Gallery will go here</p>
    </section>
    <footer>&copy; 2014</footer>
    </body>
</html>

I see, when you past code in a comment here, you put three backticks at the start and end of it. You can also put html or css after the three backticks so it knows how to style your code.

You can click edit on your post to see exactly what I did, or click the "Markdown Cheatsheet" (just above the post comment button) and see a list of format options for the forum.

I checked your html and it looks good, I also validated it and it came out spotless. So where are you getting this error? Is this for a code challenge or are you just trying to follow along with a tutorial? If so, which one?

I am trying to follow along with the tutorial, here is the link:

Create the content Containers [http://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-website/html-first/create-the-content-containers]

I am getting the error in the Workspace of Teamtreehouse.

Okay, well the problem seems to be workspaces related. What browser are you using? There could be a conflict there. I use Chrome, but Firefox and IE11 should all work well too.

If that is not the problem, I suggest maybe reaching out to Treehouse customer support. I am afraid I am not too sure how to troubleshoot for workspaces since I have had no problems with it so far >.<
