Use the align-items Property in the Tweet Embed

Tell us what’s happening:

Travis Virgil here. I am fairly new to freeCodeCamp and am really enjoying the experience.

I think the challenge (Use the align-items Property in the Tweet Embed) is using the property incorrectly.

h3 and h4 should be using “align-self” instead of “align-items”

If I use use “align-items” on h3 and h4 is does nothing because “align-items” is meant for the flex container (the parent of the flex items)

“align-items” should be used for “header .profile-name” which is the flex container for h3 and h4

Your code so far
