First,

`<elementName>` isn’t a valid html tag. It was just an example as to how html is structured.

You just need to add a new section element under the first. It needs to come after the end tag of the first section element.

Okay show me your code please, that will make it easier to help.  
This is how you format code to make it show up correctly in the forum.

But based on this error message, you have put one section inside the other instead of putting it underneath. This is what one element underneath another looks like. This uses p elements instead of a section element, but is the same principle.

```auto
<p>A paragraph</p>
<p>A paragraph under a paragraph</p>

```
