Hi Tanner,

you wrapped your ul,h1 and p in a section. The task of the challenge was to to wrap this with something that 'represents a group of introductory content'. This is usually done with the header element.

Hope that helps :)

Yes. Also, the tags above the body tag should be <head></head>, not <header></header>.

I'm beyond confused on what you just said haha. My task is. "Finally, place the top <ul> inside an element that represents a major section of navigation." Which my hint gives me. i added all the <header> an <section> in and it passed me saying it was correct

<nav> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="courses.html">Courses</a></li>
</ul> </nav>

In the previous questions it asked me to section the content to get to the phase that I'm in now it wouldn't pass me until I wrote it that way. I don't know I'm so confused on how to get passed this part haha. it also had me change head to header in a phase ???
