Bacon and Jalapeno cupcake images stacking

In my Smells Like Bakin project, the two new cupcakes (Bacon Me Crazy and Jalapeno So Crazy) images are stacked right on top of each other, without the nice space in between as in the video. They were formatted that way when I first created the basic html, and then when I added the CSS the border wraps around both images, with border in between and around the images, instead of wrapping individually around each image. I checked my code and can't see anything wrong, and even tried copying and pasting the exercise code into my index.html file with no change. I have tested in both Firefox and Chrome. Any ideas on what I need to do or fix?

Hi!

Can you post the html (index.html) and css (style.css) for the images?

Sure -- how do I insert all the code here as a code block? I see that indenting four spaces creates a code block, but is there a way to do that for the whole code, and not have to do it for every line?

Huh, the ``` worked weirdly for the CSS. I hope it all comes through clearly enough to you!

I have looked at your html and css quickly and can spot two errors. In the html you didn't close the starting div tag properly where it contains a h2 tag that says "get bakin with us". You forgot a ">".

In the css rule for new-cupcakes img, in the margin declaration, you have typed 00 20px 0. Notice how the first two 0 are together. You must type 0 0 20px 0.
