I need some help with the 3rd assignment.

Place the content between the header and footer (h2, p and ul) inside an element that represents standalone sections of content.

I am confused with what I am doing wrong. I looked this up and in every one is shows the <section> and it shows it the the same area I have mine. I even copied and pasted the same code from the other questions asked on this assignment and it still isn't working.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>


    <header>
      <ul></ul>
      <h1></h1>
      <p></p>
    </header>





    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>

     <section>
    <h2>Welcome</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>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
    </ul>
 </section>


            <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>

        </body>
</html>

You're problem is cause by the fact that you have left a piece of your code outside the header, you don't have to create the

<header> <ul></ul> <h1></h1> <p></p> </header> you already have it! the header goes here

<header> <ul> <li><a href="#">About</a></li> <li><a href="#">Work</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul> <h1>My Web Design & Development Portfolio!</h1> <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p> </header>

Hi Randell,

This is the code you need:

<!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>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </header>
    <section>
    <h2>Welcome</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>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
    </ul>
    </section>
        <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>
  </body>
</html>

This first challenge is no longer correct in your code, that's why it's not passing, even though your <section> tags are in the right place. All the challenges need to be correct for it to pass.

Hope this helps!
