Yes, you need to include the header, section and footer elements in the BODY of the document. Here is the correct code:

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

Hi Muhammed,

Check where you are putting the header, section and footer elements in your markup. Hint: The body element is looking a little empty.
