Proper indentation is very important in programming. :)

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsI actually did have a look, but I haven't done Frontend code in a long time, and only took the Basics in Sass. I'm more of a Backend programmer. Tagging Hampton Catlin ... maybe he's around and can help.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
