Which pictures are you having issues? Is the link you provide is the finish process or are you half down?

You have two problems going on. First is that you have some missing and missed placed characters throughout your code.

For example: In your code in the container div tag (<div class="container clearfix">) the 4th <div> tag (<div class"grid_3="" omega"="">) has problems.

yours (<div class"grid_3="" omega"="">)

correct (<div class="grid_3 omega">)

You have the "=" used in odd places. You only need is right after "class". Example: (class="name").

Second problem I see is with your <a> tag.

For example:

yours (<a href="#" <="" a=""> <h2>Fresh Out the Oven</h2> </a>)

correct (<a href="#" <h2>Fresh Out the Oven</h2> </a>)

Be careful adding extra characters into your code. The Browser will read these incorrectly.

To fix these issues first go through your code and find any similar issues like I provided, then see the attached course documents side-by-side with your code. You will start to pick up what is right and what is wrong. With these issues out of the way, you will be able to see the website correctly in your browser.

It would be hard to follow the video now. You have a number things not matching. The best thing to do now is go back to the project page and download the "project files". Open up the "index.html" page and compare it side-by-side with your index page. You will be able to see your mistakes and enable you to move forward. This technique will also help you later on when you need to scan your code for mistakes. A viable skill for a Web Designer/Web Developer.
