Hi Erica,

That error is a bit misleading, as it always means that you have introduce a serious syntax error in the task you are currently working on that is causing the code checker to throw an error.

Your HTML is not properly indented and line-spaced, so it's makes it a bit harder to read quickly. Once I copied and pasted your HTML and adjusted the spacing and indents (This is very important in real-world coding, so it's best to get into the habit of proper formatting), it seems that you altered some of the tags from task 2.

What you have now will not pass the second task either. Your <article> tags are correct (from task 1) and your <main> tags are correct (task 3), but the <aside> tags are not complying to the instructions of including the <h3> as well as the links (including the unordered list) for task 2. Once you correct the <aside> tags, the challenge will pass.

Hope that helps, and remember to adhere to proper formatting. :)
