Nothing is working.

I cant firgure out why but none of the content i have mad on sublime will centre in the broswer page properly. I have followed the videos to the word. yet nothing. i will copy and paste my code here to see if someone can make any sense of it. code is as follows:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf -8">
  <title>Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/grid.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
</head>
<body>
  <div class="container clearfix">
        <div class="grid_4"
        <img src="img/logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin">
        <ul class="nav">

I just finished that project yesterday, when I use the grid.css with your html it looks like its centered, or at least following the grid structure. Do you have the grid.css in the css folder?

Also, you only have grid_4 so far, you will need to add many more as the project goes on.
