Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsHi Edward,
There are two changes that need to be made.
- footer is a tag and not a class. Change the selector from
.footerto justfooter. - add a
clear: bothdeclaration to the footer rule. This is needed because the content is being floated (left or right, depending on the page), so the footer needs to clear these floats for it to appear at the bottom.
After these changes, the footer rule should look like this:
footer {
font-size:0.75em;
text-align: center;
clear: both;
color: #888;
}
Hope this helps,
Cheers

Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsHi Edward,
Combined both posts into one.
Also, I added markdown to help make the code more readable. If you're curious about how to add markdown like this on your own, checkout this thread on posting code to the forum . Also, there is a link at the bottom called Markdown Cheatsheet that gives a brief overview of how to add markdown to your posts.
Cheers!
