Hi @Tom-Vanderboom — well done, this looks really good. I’ve checked it against our version, and it looks basically identical except that some of the spacing in the layout is slightly different. I worked out that this is because you used a <section> element instead of an <article>, but this isn’t wrong — <section> is just as valid a choice for use in this context.

So I’m updating my CSS source file to make sure the styling works the same whether you are using a <section> or an <article>.

Nice work!

Thanks you for your reply.:grinning:
