Thank you for your answer. I've given it some thought and I think I finally get it. In the case which I presented in the first post, I would go with <section> as a description of my website or any other 'hello world' content wouldn't make much sense when not being displayed on the website it describes. If you don't mind, I'd be grateful for one additional hint- by placing a <section> tag ahead of an article, do I give it the same meaning which the <section> itself has? I mean it's an article, but enclosed in <section> tags, which means that it wouldn't make enough sense on its own. All this seems to be a bit tricky at first and instead of concentrating on coding, I spend plenty of time pondering over such tiny details.

Hello, I've recently started to work on my HTML skills to move from a false beginner state and gain some confidence in coding according to the HTML5 standards. Well, the thing is that I do realize that a section may contain several elements, an article can be divided with multiple sections. But what if I just wanted to write something like: Hi, I am Michal and this is my personal website... (you know what I mean). I've attached an example of a layout, incredibly simple, but it's the simplest thing that keeps me thinking since I looked under the hood. In general a single piece of text. Can I use the <article> tag and that would be it or should I place it within a <div> in addition? I'm reading a book on HTML5 and it's left me with numerous questions, what's able to stand on its own and what's not, Thank you in advance.

As a newcomer I'd like to say hi before I get to the point. So, hello everybody! Having done that, I'd like to ask a question (or two) about the process of looking for inspiration. I've been wondering for some time now about whether having to browse a bunch of projects before starting to code something of my own is always a good practice. What I'm driving at is that I'm barely able to come up with an idea for a website without conducting a research. Maybe it's because of my lack of expertise, as I'm just a greenhorn. If I had a full-time job in web design, would it be ok to look here and there to boost my creativity? I think of myself as a coder, especially because my graphic design skills are trapped in the 90's, but I can't shake this feeling that I would be in deep trouble if I had to design something from scratch without any reference.
