Hi Audrey,

Looks like your code didn't make it into the post. Can you try again?

Audrey,

Let me know what part of the course you are on and what the challenge is called and i'll go into it and see for myself.

Then we should be able to sort it out. :)

ok, i see where you are at now.

first adding a div with the classes container and clearfix,

you need to add a new div above the div with the id in it

<div class="something something">
<! -- the rest of the content goes here -->
</div>
<! -- don't forget to close the div at the end -->

second, adding grid and omega. you have the div already made for you, after the id=featured-cupcake you just need to add class="grid_5 omega" to that.

if you need anymore help or more of an explanation just ask :)
