I think we need more specifics on what you think is not working because I have tried your code and everything on the <section> field is showing up when I load up the page.

Side note, I personally think you should include the <header> section within the <body>. It shows up alright but just to stick to the semantics of HTML5, I think it might be best to include all content that is to be displayed on the page within the <body> tags.

In this challenge, each task involves enclosing elements that are already provided in semantic container elements. The containers will be the only new code you should add., and they will always enclose some of the existing code.

The empty elements in the code above indicate that some things have been done that are not part of the challenge.
