Where did I go wrong?

The instruction was to wrap the body content in a div with the class "container". What did I do wrong?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
    <title>Getting Started with CSS Layout</title>
    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

I think they want you to wrap the entire body in the div so the opening div tag should be right after the opening body tag and the closing right before the closing body tag.
