Creating a Website Structure - Working With Grids ~7 minutes in

For the life of me, I cannot figure what I am doing wrong on this issue. The last action I should take is to add a div class to new_cupcakes which includes "grid_5 omega". When I actually save and view the website, it looks nothing like the video. I am not looking for the exact answer, just someone to point me in the right direction. Here is what my website look like:

Did you close div under the image before you save it.

We can only take educated guessed at where the issue might be without seeing the code.

Please create a codepen with your code and post the link here.

Hello.

Here is my code hosted on Codepen; http://cdpn.io/Jixbo

I didn't upload the CCS files because I didn't make any changes to those. .Thank you for the help.

Problem solved. After looking at the completed code and my code for an hour using Notepad++ to compare, I realized one, my <!DOC HTML/> had a slash inside the closing tag and I had some extra spacing issues between lines of code. It really threw off my margins as well. Rookie mistakes but now I understand the importance not forgetting closing brackets and extra spaces between code.

I'm at the same section and my page is also not matching up. Stupid question, where can I view the correct code for the stage I'm at as opposed to just trying to pause the video and look at little sections at a time? Makes it hard when your mistake may have been at an unknown stage of the video. Thanks!

My alignments just all seem different compared to the project example. I'm done with the structure section, so, pre-css I should have the right layout at this point. For example, the main logo is a grid 4 and the nav contact list is a grid 8 omega but I can't get them side by side. Basically, every element is in a different spot than it should be when I compare them.

<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
