@Jodi -

Step 1) Start back at the beginning with this code

<div id="featured-cupcake">
    <h2>Cupcake of the Week</h2>
    <img src="img/featured-cupcake.jpg">
</div>

Step 2) Create a div with the classes container & clearfix

Step 3) Add a closing div tag so encloses the div with the ID of featured-cupcake

Step 4) Add the classes grid_5 & omega to the existing div which has an ID of featured-cupcake

The instructions for reference:

Add a 'div' around the 'featured-cupcake' element and give it the classes 'container' and 'clearfix'.

This is the relevant code ...

<div id="featured-cupcake">
    <h2>Cupcake of the Week</h2>
    <img src="img/featured-cupcake.jpg">
</div>

What this means is ...

  • Create a new div which wraps around the feature-cupcake div
  • Add container & clearfix
  • Don't forget to close your new div

Remember: to read the instructions closely and only write code required to complete that specific task.

For future reference it's easier if you create a "working" example using codepen.io.

where my issue lies is "Add the classes 'grid_5' and 'omega' to the 'featured-cupcake' element."
