You should signup for Tree House Matt. They have some amazing videos. Working with <div> and <spans> are the most basic's of HTML stuff.

You can get a free trial here:

Either that or purchase a book on Amazon:

Isn't this what they are teaching you at school though?

Matt, I have not checked your code, but to sum up divs and spans a bit:

A span is an 'inline level element' and is used with elements that are to appear on the same line:

A span is always as long as its content.

A div is a 'block level element' and creates a new line and spreads out as wide as its parent container. You can style it with css to make it take up less, and then float several divs to appear on the same line.

You can center a div with margin: auto, but that does not work on inline elements (hence the styling display: block; if you want to center an image).

I hope this helps you understand what you are doing.

Matt, take a close look at your code. Find that paragraph and have a look at where it is (also note it's under img1 rather than a <p> tag). Now have a look at your span 6s.......In fact, have another look at everything.

I'm failing to make the connection guys.. sorry, I can't seem to find my mistakes.

I have placeholder-hero-bar-1 > that's for my paragraph , and then <logo> which is off to the left in the design?..

I think i'm going to take it down and start from scratch..

Ok i'm officially a member of Treehouse.com

Awesome! My 13 year old has completed 3 courses now and can fully code a pretty nice website all in code just by watching their videos.

Ok cool, i'm going to start later today..

I'll do my best to learn from this experience !
