Hey Jean,

You're missing the closing curly brace (}) on the footer element selector. This should resolve your issue:

footer {
  text-align: center;
  clear:both;
  font-size: 0.75em;
  padding-top: 50px
} // <-- Missing from your code

P.S. – I also reformatted your question to make things a bit more clear.
