I do not know if I just cannot see it, but I do not see a element with the id of primary or secondary on your page.

hope that helps.

There is a bug, where Firefox can't center it, so to do that you need to add this above float: left; : clear: both;

Not sure if it's what's causing the issue, but your html has a typo in the CSS file name:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/reponsive.css">

Should be:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css">

Assuming that the file itself has the correct file name...

No problem!

Not sure what browser you're using, but things like Chrome's Dev Tools can help to find these issues in future. In this case, it would report that it can't find a file with the filename css/reponsive.css.

Check out the Treehouse Workshop Debugging a Web App with Chrome Dev Tools for more info.

Other browsers have similar tools.
