Bummer! a section element needs to be within body tags... but mine are nested within these tags and i still get error.

They seem to pretty well be nested in the body...?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8"/>
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header></header>
    <footer></footer>
  </body>

</html>

First, I have to praise you fore the use of Markdown Cheatsheet... Thanks :) Although I'm guessing, I think you have to add a <section> element.

Try this code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8"/>
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header></header>
   <section></section>
    <footer></footer>
  </body>

</html>

There was no section element added. It goes between header and footer, like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8"/>
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header></header>
    <section></section>
    <footer></footer>
  </body>
</html>
