Please see my answer to your question here: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/css-framework-basics

To solve Bootstrap framework related questions, it is good to use the Bootstrap docs such as those: http://getbootstrap.com/components/

Hi Ary de Oliveira,

its really hard so say, with just index file, but the first thing I always check is the console, to see if all sources like bootstrap.min.js, css, jquerry,.... are included right. Just open the developertools and check the console tabs, if something is not right directed, there are gonna be errors.

I hope I could help, If you need further help, just let me know

Just quickly scouting over the markup, on line 26 you have a small mistake with the attribute spelling of class.

But as Patrick says, its really difficult to judge with solely the index file present.
