Thanks for your help!

I think I am close...

.sticky {position:relative; float: top; float:right; padding: 5px; }

but not working.

Oops, but I just tried this and still not working:

.sticky { position:absolute; float: top; float:right; padding: 5px;

}

You use the positioning attributes top, left bottom and right to set the location

See if this works

.sticky {
position:absolute;
top: 5px;
right: 5px;
}

Also make sure your containing element has position: relative; applied

hey greg -

I was trying to give you hints, so you would understand it. Its so easy just to copy and paste - but it'll catch up with you later down the road.

I speak from experience ;)

I have a lot to learn. Thank you both Marsha and Charles!

You're welcome. Make sure to review this one or more times: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/websites/css-foundations/page-layout

...and after you feel like you are starting to get the hang of it, here is a another course on CSS that I just finished. I loved it, and it helped to further cement my knowledge gained at Treehouse. http://www.codeschool.com/courses/css-cross-country

This is such an important point to understand, for anyone who replies to a question here on the forum.

To add to what marsha put so succinctly, the goal of these forums is to help each other understand how it works, not to get past a code challenge.

As an instructor as well as a Treehouse member, I completely respect this point.
