Bootstrap Column cuts my content. How do I fix this?

I started learning Bootstrap using one of the resources in the library (Re-creating Smells Like Bakin' Website). I followed the instructions precisely but found out that my content is being cut-off. It's like they are far to the left and therefore cuts part of the content. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

You didn't close one of the DIV element at the end. Try my code:

Oh, right! It works just fine now. I guess I'll have to be more careful next time. Thank you very much!
