CSS How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Adjust the Profile Page and Header

Header doesn't float to the left in larger view

I added the CSS rules in this step but the header stays centered no matter the page size. I can't tell if I missed something, but I think it's time for a different set of eyes to look at this.

It looks good to me

I plugged your code in to codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/vEGLEK

For me, the header is floated when the page is wide enough.

Does the codepen look right to you?

It looks all right in codepen. Maybe it's a Treehouse issue. The header is still centered if I go through the Preview button in the workspace. Things have been acting funny in this section when they weren't before and I'm not sure what the deal is.

If it continues, I'll have to contact someone.

But thank you for letting me know I'm not crazy!
