Float not working, ideas?

Hi,

My attempted copying of what is being done in this video does not lead to the text wrapping around the image, though I believe I copied correctly--maybe someone can catch an error or otherwise give some guidance?

HTML:

<img
          src="https://i0.wp.com/css-tricks.com/wp-content/csstricks-uploads/thebox.png?resize=570%2C248"
          alt="illustration of the CSS box model"
          class="small-img"
        />

CSS:

.small-img {
  float: left;
  width: 300px;
  margin: 0 1rem 1rem 0;
}

Thanks!

Brendan

There's no actual text here. The only thing that looks like text is actually part of the image.

Yeah, I guess I'm not sure that was the issue...for some reason in the later lesson on media queries, when i moved it within a media query, it worked 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks for feedback though!
