Your h2 element is already a part of the body tag. The challenge wants you to nest the h2 element and the article elements inside the main tag. The error with your code here is that you have wrapped the aside tags around the h2 element. Delete this. The aside tag should remain where it was placed to complete the previous challenge (around the h3 element social links). You have also created multiple aside elements which are also incorrect. Please restart this challenge altogether and continue reading my answer as you get to this stage again.

The challenge only wants you to create a main element by adding an opening and closing tag for this element, then net the h2 element and the articles and only these elements inside of the main element.
