Problem with adding classes of "grid_5 and omega".

<!DOCTYPE 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_5 omega">
           <div id="featured-cupcake">

Hey Thaddeus,

What exactly is giving you trouble? Can you post your code so that I can try and assist you? You can add multiple classes to elements by separating them with spaces. For example:

<div class="nameofclass1 nameofclass2"></div>

Hope this steers you in the right direction. Good luck!

The question is asking you to add the classes TO the featured cupcake element. So try the code below. Also I edit your post with correct markup for embedding code if you now click edit you can see how it is done :)

  <div id="featured-cupcake" class="grid_5 omega">
    <h2>Cupcake of the Week</h2>
