At first glance, "main" looks OK ā€” but are you sure that "section" is supposed to be there? Or that "aside" around the header?

Also, it looks like the "aside" lower down has an end tag but no start tag.

I fixed the aside lower down and it still didn't work and the code there passed the first 2 challenges. So i dont really know what the problem is

Did you also remove the first "aside" (the one that starts right after the "body")? The only "aside" should be placed around "the "social media" heading and list of links".

And the instructions don't ask for any "section" element(s) to be added.

I revised my previous comment to be more explicit.

And when posting code, use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down: Ā  Or watch this video on code formatting.
