Alignment using .collapse (and img-float)

This is my first question. Can anyone see my workspace and code? Should I refer to the code (by line) or copy the relevant code it into this space?

Here is my workspace link : http://port-80-9oggciq6aj.treehouse-app.com/ (go to 'schedule')

And the code in question :

 <h1 id="schedule" class="display-4 text-xs-center m-y-3 text-muted">Schedule</h1>
  <ul class="list-group">
     <li class="list-group-item">
       <img src="img/angie.png" class="img-fluid img-circle pull-xs-left m-r-1" width="100px" height="200px"> 
        <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseExample" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExample">
         <h4 class="list-group-item-heading">Internet of things<span class="tag tag-info tag-pill pull-xs-right">9:00am</span></h4>
      Nodestradamus
        </a>
         <div class="collapse" id="collapseExample">
          <hr>
           Anim pariatur cliche reprehenderit, enim eiusmod high life accusamus terry richardson ad squid. Nihil anim keffiyeh helvetica, craft beer labore wes anderson cred nesciunt sapiente ea proident.
        </div>
    </li>

I'd like this div (the text)

   <div class="collapse" id="collapseExample">
          <hr>
           Anim pariatur cliche reprehenderit, enim eiusmod high life accusamus terry richardson ad squid. Nihil anim keffiyeh helvetica, craft beer labore wes anderson cred nesciunt sapiente ea proident.
        </div>

to align with the text above (to replicate the exact spacing of the example in the video at the end)

        <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseExample" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExample">
         <h4 class="list-group-item-heading">Internet of things<span class="tag tag-info tag-pill pull-xs-right">9:00am</span></h4>
      Nodestradamus
        </a>

It's possible with a grid layout, but is this necessary or is there a property I can add to the "collapseExample" div to have it align with the above text (like the example in the video at 6:00)?

During the expansion animation the text aligns with the above text but then snaps left after the expansion animation is finished.

Question : What's the best way to make the example in the video at 6:00?

Thanks!

I struggled for quite some time with this one too. Here's what worked for me in the end:

<h1 id="schedule" class="display-4 text-xs-center my-3 text-muted">Schedule</h1>

      <ul class="list-group">

        <li class="list-group-item">
          <div class="media">
            <div class="container px-0">
              <div class="row">
                <div class="col-xs-1">
                  <a class="media-left" href="#">
                    <img class="media-object rounded-circle pull-xs-left" src="img/avatar-nodestradamus.png" width="50px">
                  </a>
                </div>
                <div class="col-xs-11">
                  <a class="schedule-link" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseExample" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExample">
                    <div class="media-body">
                      <h4 class="list-group-item-heading">Keynote: Internet of Things <span class="tag tag-info tag-pill float-xs-right">9:00am</span></h4>
                      NodeStradamus
                    </div>
                  </a>
                  <div class="collapse" id="collapseExample">
                    <hr>
                    Anim pariatur cliche reprehenderit, enim eiusmod high life accusamus terry richardson ad squid. Nihil anim keffiyeh helvetica, craft beer labore wes anderson cred nesciunt sapiente ea proident.
                  </div>
                </div>
              </div>
            </div>
          </div>
        </li>

I also had to create a little bit of custom css to remove link styling:

.schedule-link,
.schedule-link:hover,
.schedule-link:focus {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: inherit;
}

While it works, I'm not sure whether this is the most efficient solution. I'd be keen to see how others managed to solve this one.
