Working With Grids

I am currently on the Working with Grids video, and I am having trouble viewing my output on my Google Chrome Browser. I am going to paste my code below, and if someone could check to see if the output works on your browser, it would be greatly appreciated. 

<!DOCTYPE HTML>

The markup seems alright. Are you sure you have the CSS files placed in the right folder?

I have them saved under a folder named "css" on my desktop. Is that correct?

Place your html file in a folder. Let's name it ABC. Now inside ABC place your CSS folder.

Also, your code reads

 <div id="intro" class="grind_9">

Please change that to grid_9.

Do I need to change the resolution on my Chrome Browser to see this in effect? When I refresh the page I still can't see any changes made to the website.

You have a troubles with tags on grid_3. You havn't close tag. First <div class="grid_3"**>**(<-) <img=**""**(?) src="http://i.imgur.com/xuRWB8F.gif" alt="You Bake Me Blush"> </div> Second - img tag - you closed it but this tag dosent need a close pair.

Just change grind_9, as said Adhithya to grid_9, and put a > bracket after <div class="grid_3"
