is it asking for a header tag or a head tag? the challenge requires you to add both depending on the task you are on. a header tag is 

<header></header>

and goes inside the body like so:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header></header>
  </body>
</html>

whereas a head tag is

  <head></head>

and goes before the body but inside the html tag like so:

 <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

the last part of the challenge requires a header, section, and footer so be sure you add all three if you are on the last stage

Yeah, i'm looking for the header, i put it like this

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> </head> <body> <header> <h1>Header one</h1> <h2>Header two</h2> </header> <section> <p>Section goes here</p> </section> <footer>Ā© Copyright goes here </footer.

but it still says that i need a header tag, can't seem to see what i'm doing wrong?
