Hi there! You're doing just fine. Yes, your h2 elements are correct. To be fair, I'm not sure exactly how this passed the challenge checker for Step 1. The problem here is in that two instances you've started a paragraph with a <p> tag, but then ended it with a <p> tag. This is creating an error as the paragraphs should be closed with a </p> tag. So, it can't make it to your h2 because the error occurs before the h2 is even shown.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

I notice, Your <p> tag is not ended using proper HTML closing tag format. For e.g., <p>Lorem ipsum</p>. Let me know if this solves the error.

Put slashes after the paragraph tags
