3,446 PointsI made a few adjustments not sure if you wanted this to happen.
I made changes to the code under the mark up section like this.
<div class="grid-10">
<h2>Primary Content</h2>
<img class="feat-img" src="http://lorempixel.com/400/300" />
<p class="classIadded">Bacon ipsum dolor sit amet chicken pork ground round brisket corned beef ball tip shank tail salami filet mignon ham hock pork belly venison shankle. Pig kielbasa drumstick sausage pork chop boudin. Chicken t-bone salami pork chop, beef ribs kevin ham tri-tip beef venison biltong brisket.</p>
<p class="classIadded">Venison strip steak meatball chicken, brisket prosciutto sirloin. Capicola drumstick brisket tri-tip salami. Chicken beef jerky, tail turkey prosciutto cow ham sirloin boudin tenderloin.</p>
</div>
I also added a some code to the CSS part to get it to show columns side by side.
.classIadded{
width:30%;
margin-right:10px;
margin-left:20px;
float:left;
display:block;
I know it may not be the best way to code it, but maybe it will give you ideas on what needs to be done to get the results you want.
