Hi Ben Risinger

The challenge asks to wrap text around of the img element to its right side.

So by using float left on the image it will make the text go on the right side.

Like this:

img {
  float: left;
}

img { float: left; }

Remember. Don't use .img. Just use img. ( No period before "img" }

I'm also stumped. .img { float: right; } is not working for me

None of the options above are working. At all.
