Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 7,117 PointsHey Jake! The HTML section element, defined by section tags, defines a section of a document, web page, or an application. While <aside> should be used to show that it is indirectly related to the surrounding content. I'm also new but would like to help others but in my opinion, using a <aside> for contacting me is more suited than using <section> since it's not directly related to your topic. (if you're writing an article about fish or something else besides yourself) But I recommend using <div> tags. If you don't know what they are you will soon learn them! If you still don't understand my explanation check these websites for help. Just remember <sections> organizes your webpage to see different parts of a document while <aside> tells you that the topic isn't fully related to what you're talking about in your webpage
