Something is wrong

When I go to preview, the bullet points are not in the same areas as in the video. Plus, when I set the background color of wrapper to orange it does not make a column, it makes a row that spans the width of the entire window, just like when he set the footer color to orange.

If you copy your code to the thread, other users will have a greater chance of suggesting solutions for you :D

If the bullet points are a little off, then I wouldn't worry about it. It may be just the browser you're using. Browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Safari each have their own default styles applied to any website. That's why a website looks slightly different when you compare it in two different browsers. Even different versions of the same browser can apply different styles to a page.

As for the background color, did you set a max-width? Did you set the background color of a selector other than #wrapper?
