Coding Challenge

I can't seem to progress past the header tag section despite clearly having a header in place?

Here is the code I used:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title> Anton Burrows | Designer</title>
    </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <h1>Anton Burrows</h1>
      <h2>Designer</h2>
    </header>
    <section>
    <p>Gallery will go here</p>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2014 Anton Burrows.</p>
    </footer>
    </body>
</html>

You need to write the correct HTML tags. This is the code you need:

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

So when it says add a header, section, and footer, it means use the HTML tags.

Hi Jordan, thanks for your reply. I did actually have the HTML tags in place (although I think when I pasted my code it got cut off!) Like an earlier user I restarted the challenge and pasted the exact same code I had written before and it was fine? I think this might be a technical issue? Thanks for your help and your prompt reply Jordan, much appreciated.
