Hi Abdullahi

In your snippet it looks like things have been moved a bit out of the original state. On the initial load the goal is to set everything wrap all elements within the <body> tags in a <div> with the class container.

If you look between your opening <body> and closing </body> tags you will notice a few elements currently in place, a <header></header>, a <div class="main"> for the content, and a <footer></footer> - each containing child elements of their own.

The task is to put a new div, within the <body> with the class container at the top, ie: <div class="container"> and then after all of the inside elements, but before the closing body tag </body> closing out your div </div>.

Hopefully this clears things up!
