on your CSS file you have img { max-width = 100% ;
}

make that

img { max-width: 100%; }

that should fix it. Let me know :)

Hello, I might be wrong if I don't see all your html or CSS, a link of your work would be helpful.

Make sure you have closed all { } within your css rules, that all comments are properly written /**/ and that your html tags are correct. I can see that you miss </ul> at the bottom of your html

Thanks for the quick reply Ilias! I checked the comments and the brackets. Can you clarify what you mean by "missing" at the bottom of my html?
