Background keeps breaking around the footer area

Hi, if I understand your problem right , here is one of the decisions. Try to add height: 100vh; property for class .main-body , like this 

.main-body {
    height: 100vh; 
    background: radial-gradient(red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet);
}

A Footer isn't declared inside your html, Your Div should be inside the <body> tag, and the background is only being declared for the .main-body div, thus why it doesn't cover the actual page.

That and you may need to zoom in further for the content to cover your screen. If you are using Chrome, you can use the "Chrome Dev tools" by right clicking a page and selecting "inspect" or hitting F12. From their you can see the true visual size of each item on the page. Very Useful,

Simple fix is to change your main.css from 

   .main-body {
       background: radial-gradient(red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet);
   }

To this

   body {
       background: radial-gradient(red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet);
       background-repeat: no-repeat;
   }

Hope this helps mate,

Hello Ryan,

First in your main.css you have an empty background attribute, This should be removed.

Second your index.html is nested incorrectly. I did some changes to it.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Gibson County Animal Shelter</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="normalize.css">
        <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cinzel|Forum|Kanit|Lobster+Two|Raleway" rel="stylesheet">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <center>
            <div class="main-body">
                <div class="heading">
