First of all - Great course!
I'm not the biggest fan of storyboards, so when following along the course I did it programmatically. There is only one thing I'm having a slight problem with:
When implementing the function the gives us dynamic height for our labels. I can get this part to work. I.e if the body-text is to long it won't resize properly.
I'll include the project, so you can have a look.

Treehouse Guest TeacherLooks like the culprit is a mixture of two things. First, the line break mode is incorrect:
[_bodyLabel setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail];
It should be NSLineBreakByWordWrapping.
Next, your autoresizing mask should be:
[_bodyLabel setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight];
Instead of setting it multiple times (only the last line has any effect). Those two changes should point you in the right direction.

14,957 PointsThanks for your help, but in your project in the storyboard you set lineBreakMode to NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail and setAutoresizingMask to more than just flexible height. Why does this not work in code?

Treehouse Guest TeacherAh, you're right. Setting the autoresizing mask correctly is sufficient.

14,957 Pointsbut how would I go about setting that in code if only the last line have effect? Also, my location label is in the middle my body-label now.
