It might just be the terminology. The "element that describes self-contained pieces of content" is the article element.

Hello, set them inside in <article> element </article>. You can find more information here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/article

The thing that most get confused is "self contained describing element". Just use an article element

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Blog</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Blog!</h1> 
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Articles</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Recent Work</a></li>            
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>

    <h2>The Main Articles</h2>   
    <article>
     <h3>My Favorite HTML Courses</h3> 
      </article>
    <article>
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget <a href="#">feugiat ante faucibus</a>.</p>
    </article>
