The copyright text in the footer needs to be moved down below the floated elements. Select .copyright and apply the property and value that clears both the left and right floats.

Try this:

.copyright {
    clear: both; /* Clears 'both' left and right */
}

That should do it :)!

I may be missing something. Your code is the same as what I currently have:

.copyright {

}

I need to know what property and value will clear the floats.
