Defenitely gone wrong somewhere , it isn't a glitch isn't in the system.

says add a header element , then BUMMER! And then advises me to put it in between the body.(which I have ) still don't accept , I then put the section in the body aswell , I'm clutching at straws.....

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title></title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <h1></h1>
  <section></section>
  </body>

  <footer></footer>


</html>

Shane Oliver is correct. You've put in a <h1> element instead. The <h1>, <h2> etc elements stand for "headline". And don't worry, we all got these confused at some point! HTML has 3 similar sounding tags headline <h1>, header <header> , and head <head>. And they are all very different :smiley:

Also, you ended your body before the beginning of the footer tag. It might sound a little counter-intuitive at first, but the footer should also be inside the body of the document. But Shane's code should get you to the next step. You're doing great! Hang in there :sparkles:

You have a <head> element but no <header> element. They are different page elements :)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Basic HTML Skeleton</title>
</head>
<body>
    <header></header>
    <section></section>
    <footer></footer>
</body>
</html>
