<cite> tag and <a> tag

for tag like these, should you include it inside <p>,<li>,<h1> ...tag or outside? since they seem to make no difference?

e.g. <p><cite>TeamTreeHouse</cite><p> <p><a>TeamTreeHouse</a></p> or <cite><p>TeamTreeHouse</p></cite> <a><p>TeamTreeHouse</p></a>

My recommendation when thinking about the flow of your HTML document is to consider the hierarchy of your tags -- you'll want to make a mental note of what tags are 'larger' and what are 'smaller'. I generally think of anchor tags as the smallest tag and do them last. Below is how I would generally organize an HTML document to make it feel 'organized'.

<figcaption>First sentence in <cite><a href="http://www.george-orwell.org/1984/0.html">Nineteen Eighty-Four</a></cite> by George Orwell (Part 1, Chapter 1).</figcaption>

Another example:

<p>I love learning how to code and I've learned it through <cite><a href="https://teamtreehouse.com/>Team TreeHouse</a></cite></p>

Another example

<div>
     <h1>Team Tree House</h1>
     <p> I love learning through <cite><a href="https://teamtreehouse.com/>Team TreeHouse</a></cite> </p>
</div>

Let me know if this doesn't make sense!
