Hi, @timmparsons. Do you have a Codepen link for this? Your code doesn’t render properly here because it’s not formatted.

Here is a codepen link http://codepen.io/timmparsons/pen/akrxNJ

On codepen, the ‘Tester // Los Angeles’’ won’t go under the main heading and I can’t get the footer nav to move to the left or in a list.

Any suggestions to help or if you notice anything else wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your <div>'s class name and the selector in the CSS don’t match; one is Quote but the other is quote.

Avoid using spaces in id names (or maybe you meant using class?).

Always specify units in CSS (px, em, etc.). I saw a margin: 38 0 0 0;. But units are not required for 0.

Add display: inline-block; to the copyright <div>, then margin: 38px 0 0 0; (this one lacked units)

Thanks. The footer nav still doesn’t move to the left for me.

Also, how do I remove the blue and underline from the nav links?

#6

Oh, I think I misread about the footer nav. Sorry.

You can remove the link underlines with

/* or `nav a` */
a {
  color: black; /* or any other color */
  text-decoration: none;
}

Your <nav> has a float: right; property. You can move the <nav> in the footer by unsetting its float.

footer nav {
  float: unset;
}

I noticed a few things that may help when you’re using CodePen.

  • Remove the <head> section from the HTML section and go into Settings -> HTML -> Stuff for <head> and place this link <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans" rel="stylesheet"> in it.
  • Remove the link to site.css all together since you can’t link to a local file from the pen
  • Either remove this line in your css background: url(Pictures/74H.jpg) center; or find a web linked version of it since it’s also attempting to link to a local file that doesn’t exist.
  • You have a class named ul. Just an FYI that it’s bad practice to name a class the same as an element. It could make it confusing and difficult to troubleshoot issues.

The HTML section of the pen is used as the <body> portion of the site you’re trying to build so any local links won’t work and any links to stylesheets will override anything that you have in your CSS section.
