Thanks - Good beginner article. I guess if we're going to each people things we may as well get it right. So in that vein, here are some corrections for consideration...

Headers (h1, h2, h3...) - these are not headers, they are headings. A <header>is very different.

Divs are divisions not dividers. A horizontal rule <hr> is a good divider, but a <div> is more along the concept of "sectioning" or "grouping" content vs. dividing it.

Thanks for reading @badcat, appreciate the feedback! Also appreciate the corrections, I think others looking to take things further will too.

With regards to headers vs headings, that's totally my bad, used the wrong name during writing. I have mentioned they are "level heading" elements, but I'll update this as I don't want to cause confusion. I understand your concern with "division" over "divider" (I'm aware it is formally called the "content division" element), and I'll add some clarification. But I think in the scope of this post, for all intents and purposes, it divides content (at least at a high level). I also mention how it is like a container, as well as words like "sections" and "grouping". I explain it like this to give some context around the images that come after.

Hope that makes sense and addresses your concerns, always appreciate the feedback to improve the quality of the content. 🙂
