Working With Grids

Hello! I just started Team Tree House yesterday and have been working on the basic website sections. I am on the section for "Working with Grids" and am having problems with my Smells Like Bakin' CSS working like it does in the video (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/websites/build-a-simple-website/creating-a-website-structure/working-with-grids-2). I've watched the lesson twice and have read over my code again and again, but cannot figure out why it is not the same. Here is a link to my index.htm filel: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0cqyejkfv2cp3xe/index.html This is the first point where it does not match the video. The first time I ignored it and kept going, but that obviously led to problems so I started over, but was not able to find what I missed. Thanks so much for any help you can give me! -Ben

Hey Ben,

I'm happy you joined us.

First of all, when you work alone by project , try working WITH project files first, then make your stuff alone, because you will learn more with project files.

You had these errors in your index.html file:

  • At the begining,when you declare meta http-equiv: you mised first (quote)" before content type
  • In your grid_3 class , after alt="you make me blush" you mised closing angle bracket ... >
  • and same it was with your contact class... you missed this closing angle bracket... >

this is what I found. I hope it helps, and good luck in studing :)

Thank you!

I'll start using the project files first. I fixed those errors and found a couple more after looking at the project files - now I'm back on track.

Thanks so much for your help!
