505 PointsStuck in the mud! Please help
I had asked a question over 2 weeks ago and to be honest, after not receiving a solution to my problem I was discouraged and have not been on TH in quite some time...at any rate, I asked a question related to why I cannot make my work look like Nick's. Upon asking that question I was told to use snapchat..and that was to no avail, so here I am again asking not the css question, but better how do you use the snapchat feature so I can repost my question

Courses Plus Student 4,638 Pointsyou should probably have the ticks on there own lines and the code between the, also, right after the first three ticks you can add the name of the language so you get the proper highlighting, eg. `CSS
anyway the code isnt that much, I can see what its doing, so what do you expect it to do that it doesnt?
Michalis Efstathiou
Courses Plus Student 4,638 PointsIm not sure what you are asking, are you having problems passing a code challenge? or are you trying to do something outside of treehouse and you cant get it to look like nick's
in any case, you need to post your code and explain what you are trying to do, how are we supposed to help you if we dont know what exactly you need help with?

505 PointsI think you should read the post again. I asked HOW to use the SNAPCHAT feature to post my code. I have hit the snapchat button (CAMERA ICON) and it just create a file. I cannot copy and paste it..I do not know how to post my code, hence why I asked how to use the snapchat, then I can ask my question.

Courses Plus Student 4,638 Pointswell i dont know how to use snapchat, but if you want to post your code just paste it in here and surround it with `, three at the begginning, three at the end of your code, on the bottom of this page you can find a markdown cheatsheet that explains it if you dont understand what im saying, so if you do that you get something like this
.order-header {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
background-color: #ddd;
width: 100%;
}
.order-details {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
padding: 10px;
}

30,164 PointsHey Marcus to post code to the forum use this key 3 times ( ` ) in a row....
Make sure it is the line before and after your block of code.... also it is best to follow the first three ( ` ) with the programming language you are using...
example: (```css)
also here are two posts I'd like to share about posting code to the forum one and two
Happy coding ;)

505 Pointsit does not change my background color to navy or darkgreen as I am commanding it to do. In fact, none of my media queries work. I thought, no big deal I'll move on since I passed the code challenge, but the next section was the three columns on the about page, and once again no results so I figured why move forward if I cannot figure out what is wrong. When I resize the window pass 480px the screen should be navy and 660px should be dark green.

Courses Plus Student 4,638 Pointsi think you are using the wrong css property
I think it should be background-color
Marcus McKenzie
505 Pointsok I will try that and see how it goes
Marcus McKenzie
505 Pointsthat doesn't seem to work either. i suppose i may have to erase my code and start back from scratch, but I really appreciate your help.
Marcus McKenzie
505 Pointswasn't a complete waste though, I learned how to post code lol
Michalis Efstathiou
Courses Plus Student 4,638 Pointsno worries,
also keep in mind that css is cascading, which means that code thats further down overrides earlier code
so if you are loading your responsive.css before your normal styles.css that might also be it
Marcus McKenzie
505 Pointsi will keep that in mind. thanks again
