Stuck in "working with the grids"

I couldn't figure out how to attach printscreens here, so I'll try to explain. I've just started with "working with the grid" section in "Build a Simple Website", and everything was going well until now.

I've inserted all the grids, like in the tutorial, but half of my webpage looks wrong. After adding the grids, here should be a text (email address, some text, Facebook and Twitter logos and the copyright info) to the right of "Cupcake of the week" image. But they remain at the bottom of the image. I checked the code multiple times and I can't figure out what I did wrong.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"; charset=utf-8/>
  <title>Smells Like Baking Capcake Company</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

try putting a grid_7 around ( inside the kitchen ) and put a grid_5 around the contact div, also include the p and images of twitter and Facebook in the contact div. that should give you the look that you are looking for

Thanks, Brian!

I tried but it didn't work. Ans I checked the code again - it is identical to what they give in video tutorial, so I can't figure out why it doesn't work properly, and it's very annoying as I can't move forward.

I believe you still need a grid_ for the bottom 2 things somewhere. but I also found something missing in your code that might help. since I was told to help and not give answers ill include the section and let you figure out what your missing.

<div id="intro" class="grid_9">
  <h1>Opposites really do attract, especially in our kitchen! We combine unexpected flavours that melt together to create ironically delicious      desserts.</h1>
  <p><a href="#" class="btn">Browse our Cupcakes</a></p>
</div>
<div class="grid_3">
 <img src="img/you-bake-me-blush.gif" alt="You Bake Me Blush">
