Been doing this excercise so many times I'm sure I'm getting further away from solving it! please help!!

I had to add the grid and omega to the featured cupcake element which I assume is the image??

<body>
  <div class="container clearfix">
  <div id="featured-cupcake">
    <h2>Cupcake of the Week</h2>
    </div>
    <div class="grid_5 omega">
    <img src="img/featured-cupcake.jpg">
  </div>
</body>

Your "container" and "clearfix" div should go all the way around the "featured-cupcake" div. Look at where it starts an ends. Take out the "grid_5" "omega" div too.

Claire, I'm stuck in the same question. I've decided to give it a rest for a day then revisit tomorrow. I've watched the video a couple of times and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong either. I will try what Chase James posted...maybe that will do the trick.

Good luck! :)

The code you posted looks incorrect from the start because it's missing a closing tag for the first div. I would imagine that the image of the cupcake should be placed inside the "featured-cupcake" div. Basically what they are asking for you to do is create a div around the "featured-cupcake" div. Said div should have the classes "container" and "clearfix".
