CSS How to Make a Website Adding Pages to a Website Make an About Page

the instructions are select an image and set it to be a block element. I'm not certain what its asking me to do here.

I feel like it wants me to change the css to display:inline-block, but its not taking that as correct.

I tried adding that to the img tag and it also didn't like that answer.

With the code that you have you are selecting and id(#). When looking that the html document, it is showing that the element is described as a class(.).

.profile-photo {
    display: block;
}

Hi! You have to set it to block element, not to inline-block.

You also need to select a class not an id

This

class doesn't work:

.profile-photo { display: block; }

any other ideas?

Thanks

The problem is that you are selecting the wrong element.

.profile-photo img { display: block;}

Let me know if that fixes your problem
