Courses Plus Student 2,919 PointsAn issue Challenge Task 1 of 3 - using the <main>
``` Basic HTML
<h2>The Main Articles</h2>
<main>
<h3>My Favorite HTML Courses</h3>
<p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget <a href="#">feugiat ante faucibus</a>.</p>
</main>
<main>
<h3>10 CSS Features</h3>
<p>Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et <a href="#">ultrices posuere</a>.</p>
</main>
<main>
<h3>Follow Me on Social Media:</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Twitter</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Facebook</a></li>
<li><a href="#">LinkedIn</a></li>
</ul>
</main>
When doing the challenge, it states to go to each set of <h3> and <p>, which I have. And it says that I did it wrong. I also remeber when in the video, it stated that we should only use one <main> per page? So I am confussed. Either way I try to do this, it comes up wrong.
Thank you in advance for your help.

There's another element which fits the description a bit better, and can be used multiple times on the page.
Also note that the h3/ul combination should not be treated the same as the h3/p groups.

Courses Plus Student 2,919 PointsThan you Steven for answering. I was just going to bed when I realized that I could use <article> and it worked.
Thank you again.

Courses Plus Student 2,919 PointsI had forgotten about the <article> tag. Used it and worked. This as been answered.
