.profile-photo {
display: block;
}
hope that helps
heatherglasier
2,011 Pointsok thank you but why do i have to have a "." anyways? Just curious about this?
Hadi Khalili
7,969 PointsHeather Glasier dot (.) is used to select class. hash (#) is used to select id. It is the way to tell the css interpreter that you are referring to the class or id.

2,011 Pointsoh ok thank you that is very helpful.

480 PointsAh, you almost have it. Your forgetting to close your image element after class="profile-photo".
A image element should be closed with "/>".
Example: <img src="..." alt="..." class="..." />
Hadi Khalili
7,969 PointsAemiro Allison using '>' or '/>' is not the problem. He has selected profile-photo as an id selector. (#profile-photo) it should be '.profile-photo'
