Poject 2 for web development. Help!

I am so stuck! I am trying to build a mobile first approach to be displayed with a total of 6 images that adjust with the width of the screen. I am having issues with getting my navigation bar to float to the right of the screen, resizing the profile image, and getting the remaining images on the screen to line up as well.

Here is my html code thus far:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <title>Responsive Layout Project</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"> </head> <body>

<header class="main-header">
   <div id="container">
        <h1 class="name">Morgan Hunter</h1>
       <ul class="nav">
        <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Portfolio</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
      </ul>
    </header>

Hello Morgan,

  1. I noticed you have two closing header tags, you should remove the first one.
  2. You have a typo in the article element with the class "introduction". You wrote "<aritcle>" instead of <article>.
  3. There are some issues with the the closing tag order in your HTML.

I suggest you reread your code a few times to filter out the small typos or you can run your HTML through a HTML validator like W3 validator.

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate!

Happy holidays!
