Scaffold Issues

Why use id over class in the scaffold section? I need to have the text on the left and my logo image on the right. What is the code to make the two rows go into the 2 columns shown (side-by-side)?

Id's load faster than classes. Plus it has a priority over classes. The thing is, id's are for unique elements on your website. If you have 2 id's with the same styling, you should use classes, because it's a style common to other elements.

You can have to columns side by side using "display: inline-block", or floating the elements. You should consider reading about the clear property first. In your case I would go with floating the text to the left, and the logo to the right.

Hope that helps!
