What do I need to change in order to correctly display my portfolio site in a flexbox container?

I havent looked too closely, but I noticed that you have

<div class=".flexcontainer">

You cant use periods in the class name. You want just "flexcontainer" and then in your css, you target it with .flexcontainer

For some reason it still appears as default html; each image stacking on top of each other at the left of the browser page. I am using chrome, so I don't think it's a browser issue of not supporting flexbox. I'll keep looking for what might need to change.
