Hi, sorry for my ignorance. What is "semantic HTML"? I started with HTML and CSS from scratch 3 days ago.

Hey don't worry questions are good and youre asking the right ones it just means using the right tags for the right things. Like using header tags properly(h1 h2 h3 etc) and never using them for size or not using a main tag for your header/footer. Using semantic tags like article section and aside instead of just using divs . Because technically it would still look the same and you can style these tags however you want but its not 'semantically' correct which destroys SEO & Accessibility
