why this is wrong

I dont get why this answer is wrong. They are saying -- Place the content between the header and footer (h2, p and ul)

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <ul></ul>
      <h2></h2>
      <p></p>
    </header>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 

    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>

    <h2>Welcome</h2> 
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
    </ul>
<section>
      <h2></h2>
      <p></p>
      <ul></ul>
    </section>
    <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
    <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
    <footer><p></p></footer></body>
</html>

The <section> tag is right for task 3. I apologize for the sloppy indentation but the final code should be:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
    <nav>  
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    </nav>  
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </header>

    <section>
    <h2>Welcome</h2> 
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
    </ul>
    </section>  

    <footer>
    <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
    <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
   </footer>
      </body>
</html>

So all the content between <header></header> and <footer></footer> is enclosed by <section></section>

You have to go back to the beginning. Even though the challenge let you pass task 1 and 2 it shouldn't have. When you get to task 3 then you see the fail and you can't continue until you fix the previous two tasks. That's why I said it is broken.

Task 1 should be:

<header>
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
</header>

Task 2 should be:

<footer>
    <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
    <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
</footer>

You have the solution tags right but instead of creating new elements to place them around, place your tags around the existing elements

Personally I think the challenge is broken since it should stop you from the get go. But you have to get to task 3 or 4 or who knows before the error checking kicks in. When the task 1 instructions state:

Place the ul, h1 and p elements at the top of the page inside an element that represents a group of introductory content.

your solution should enclose the existing elements:

<ul>
    <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
</ul>
<h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
<p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>

not create new ones. If you start over and keep that in mind for all the tasks you should pass.

i am kinda surprise. I told what you did in your second answer and it worked that's why i upvoted. I want to accept this answer as correct answer as in logic this is correct answer. but in the question they said section should be in between header and footer. that's i placed it around here --- <section> <h1>My Web Design & Development Portfolio!</h1> <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>

<h2>Welcome</h2> 
<p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>
<ul>
  <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
</ul>

</section>

please change your answer so i can accept or let me know if i am wrong thanks for your time
