add a header element

I cannot answer a challenge question correctly.

Where do I put a header element?

I've tried in and outside the body element, and I am still not correct.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
   <meta charset="UTF-8"> 
<title>

  <title>
</head>

  <body>
  <header>

    </header>
    <section>



      </section>
    <footer>
  </footer>

  </body>

</html>

Check out the Mozilla Developer's Network page on Content categories.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Content_categories#Sectioning_content

If I understand it right, the header element is used as a header within the section element. The

section element being used for creating a new section of content within the HTML.

I hope this helps

Jeremy is right. The header tag should be the first thing in the section tag. That designates the content within the header tag as the header/heading/top of the particular section. It's a way of organizing information into a logical structure. 

<section>
  <header>
  </header>
</section>

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

If they're asking for an <h1> element, that would be contained within the <body> section of the html code. Not sure if this helps or what the challenge question was.

Hello :)

All you need to do is close you "</title >" tag like so.
