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

How do i Place the content between the header and footer (h2, p and ul) inside an element that represents standalone sections of content. I thought I had to use the section tag and I am not finding any relief. Thansk

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

Hi,

the issue is not with your choice of using the <section>-tags (that is completely correct!). It is the location of your <header>-tags that gives you the error.

They belong inside the <body>-tag and should be placed around the <ul>, <h1> and first <p>-tags. (question 1 in the challenge).
