:x: It looks like you stuck some HTML tags ("<footer>") in your CSS. Don't do that!

:point_right: For this challenge, you'll be adding a class attribute to the footer element that is already in the HTML.

Check the CSS file and look for the class (already defined) that includes the property necessary to clear floats, then add that class to the footer element in the HTML.
