It's asking me to post the section between the header and footer and I've been at this for a half an hour.

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

    <h2><section>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>

    <p><footer>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>

Hi Lara!

You're super close! I will try to explain what we should be doing here:

First... Within our <body> tags we should have our <header> tags, as well as our <footer> tags.

So we should have something that looks similar to this:

<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <header>
        <!-- stuff should go here -->
    </header>
        <!-- you will also have stuff in between the header and footer -->
    <footer>
        <!-- stuff should go here too -->
    </footer>
</body>
</html>

Now this challenge is asking to put everything between the header and footer into it's own section, similar to this:

<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <header>
        <!-- stuff should go here -->
    </header>
    <section>
        <!-- you will also have stuff in between the header and footer -->
    </section>
    <footer>
        <!-- stuff should go here too -->
    </footer>
</body>
</html>

At this point... all together, you should have something like this:

<!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>

Hopefully that's not too confusing! Let me know if you have questions! Great job!
