how do I represent standalone sections of content other than with <section> tags? <article> tags are not working.

This task may have a glitch in it.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    </header>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>


    <h2>Welcome</h2> 
    <selection>
    <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>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
    </ul>
      </selection>
    <selection>
    <footer>
    <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
    <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
    </footer> 
    </selection>
  </body>
</html>

At least based on the challenge itself you have the write answer. <section> is correct but I would check your spelling in your html. That seems to be an issue currently.

Also I would make sure to read the challenge itself very carefully. I believe it states that the <header> needs to include the <ul> <h1> and <p>. Also this challenge is stating to include everything between the closing </header> tag and the opening <footer> tag.

WOW thank you!! I was so stumped, completely missed the part where I goofed on <section> haha and thanks for clarifying that it was the closing </header> and opening <footer> tag.

Thanks again

Not a problem I realizing very quickly that spelling seems to be the bane of every programmers existence. Keep it up!
