Why is Sticky Footer using Flex NOT working?

Question

In Guil's lesson I am using the given HTML. I follow his instructions exactly and the footer does NOT stick to the bottom.
Here is my CSS (Guil's CSS)...
/* ================================= 
  Base Styles
==================================== */
.body {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  min-height: 100vh;
}
.row {
  flex: 1;
}

Spelling mistakes and syntax errors are the most common mistakes.  
Glad you found the problem and it's working the way you want it to now.

Thanks for the reply Russell. But I have just realised that it isn't that i need to add 'justify-content: space-between;'.
It's that I had put a full stop in front of 'body'. As soon as I remove the tiny full stop...it works - it just drives you mad, doesn't it!
So, the snippet...
.body {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  min-height: 100vh;
}
.row {
  flex: 1;
}
DOESN'T work but
body {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  min-height: 100vh;
}
.row {
  flex: 1;
}
DOES!

You need to make the footer stick to the bottom of the page using space-between.
css
body {
  justify-content: space-between;
}

This will push the footer to the bottom of the page.  You can get some more good information on this site. (https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/)
Good luck. :sparkles:
