Hello there Lynn.

Welcome to my world. There's never too long goes by when I refer to myself as stupid too when I am coding, so you're not alone in this struggle. :D

But... it's also not true. None of us are stupid. We in a creative industry and one in which we never stop learning, so this kind of imposter syndrome is always going to stay with you.

Let me see if I can guide you through this.

You want to be able to use HTML to semantically structure your content, which is to say group your tags in a way that makes sense for the website you're creating. Which will be unique to the next website you make. It's not really about right or wrong. You'll find different ways to make your HTML code semantically valid.

In this case, you've chosen the right tag to group the contents listed in the code challenge. All you're missing the second opening article tag.

Good luck with it and let me know if you need further help. You've got this! :-)
