You've missed an equals between class and "btn-small" here :

<p><a href="#" class "btn-small">Read More</a></p>

And you have a stray equals here :

<div= id="contact">

I fixed both those errors and that still did not fix the problem.

Every time I try to post the top part that is all that shows up.

I suspect the error is in the header part and that's why the forum isn't recognizing the code.

Here's my header up till that point, I may have added stuff due to the fact this is from the finished one. You can compare.

Angela - Rock on with your bad self. :guitar:

I love it when people solve their own issues.


A great way to troubleshoot syntax errors like this is to look at the syntax highlighting (built into most text editors). If you notice the colors of the syntax highlighting "don't look right", then you have an idea of where to start looking for the issue.

Also most text editors have tag matching, which will highlight the matching tag, thus letting you see which tag doesn't have a match.
