Task 1 says the header should enclose only "the ul, h1 and p elements at the top of the page", so the closing tag should go before the h1.

It's not clear if you're working on task 3 or 4, but for task 3, the instructions only ask you to add one section element. Then in task 4, the element associated with navigation that the instructions are asking for would be something other than another "section".

In either case, the ending tag for the header that was added in task 1 is in the wrong place, and enclosing too much of the content.

Hi Steven,

thank you for the repply. I tried changing it but it is still not the right answer. I'm curently working on task 3. The closing header is it in the wrong place? does it not need to be right before the footer section
