Code Challenge

I have a code challenge that asks me to add different elements (e.g.) the header, footer, and section elements). I did, and received this message. X Bummer. Don’t forget a header tag. What is the difference between the head element and a header tag? How do I add a header tag?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
  <meta charset="utf8">
  <title>Jason Peay | Writer<title> 
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>

    </header> 
    <section></section>
    <footer></footer>
    </body>
</html>

I believe you get a Bummer because you forgot to close the title-tag.

head contains meta data about the site/document

in the header tag you can add stuff like a logo or navigation etc. I personally don't see anything wrong with your code

try removing all that space

<header></header>
