Make sure the section element is between the header and footer.

Hi Mokanye,

Take a look at your code and you'll notice you're closing section tags after you've closed the header.

    </ul>

</header>
    </section>
    <footer>

To close the section however, you must close the section before you close the header. Please see the below example. Notice how the section exists within the header tags.

<header>

   <section>

       <h2>text</h2> 
       <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum 
              hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>

        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
        </ul>

   </section>

</header>

I hope that helps.
