Challenge Assignment HTML

Let's make the extra div on line 28 a new column by giving it the col class. Then, create your own content inside the column using an h3 heading followed by a p.

It gives me the message: Bummer! Make sure you give the div the col class.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Floats</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="main-wrapper">  
        <header class="main-header group">
            <h1 class="main-logo"><a href="#">My Work</a></h1>
            <ul class="main-nav">
                <li><a href="#">Design</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Coding</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Writing</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Hire Me!</a></li>
            </ul>
        </header>
        <div class="primary col">
            <h1>I'm a Designer</h1>
            <p>I design beautiful user interfaces, then bring them to life with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I love including personal photographs of nature, people and everyday things in my designs.</p>
            <p>If you need a front-end designer for your next project, <a href="#">take a look at my work</a>, then <a href="#">get in touch</a>!</p>
        </div>
        <div class="secondary col">
            <h2>I Also Write</h2>
            <p>I like teaching others about the latest web in technology. So when I'm not designing or coding websites &amp; apps, you'll find me writing <a href="#">articles for my blog</a>.</p>
        </div>
        <div class="col">
      <h3>When life gives you lemons...</h3>
      <p>Make Lemonade!</p>

You need to keep the class name "extra" and add "col"

<div class="extra col">
      <h3>heading</h3>
      <p>paragraph</p>
</div>
