Design Web Typography Final Project: Create a Typographic Site Styling the Footer

My resources and archives section didn't stack on top of each-other.

My resources and archives section didn't stack on top of each-other and the bit of text showing "Verde Moderna by Dave Shea" has a background of sandy white, do you have any idea what I did wrong? Here is the CSS that affects the stacking archives and the list of other pages.

footer { background: #9bc152; }

footer:after { content: " "; display: table; clear: both; }

footer a { float: left; box-sizing: border-box; width: 20%; text-align: center; background: #9bc152; padding: 1em 0; color: #f6f4ec; letter-spacing: 0.5em; }

footer a:nth-of-type(even) { background: #81a53d; }

footer a:hover { background: #f6f4ec; color: #9bc152; }

aside { width: 100%; }

.sidebar { background: #1b1b21; color: #6b6d85; padding: 4em 0; text-align: center; }

.design-selection { float: left; width: 60%; font-style: italic; box-sizing: border-box; border-right: 1px solid #6b6d85; }

.design-archives, .zen-resources { display: inline-block; display: 40%; }

.sidebar h3 { font-size: .75em; margin: 0; line-height: 1.6em; padding: 0.5em 4%; color: #6b6d85; }

.sidebar ul { padding: 0; }

.sidebar li { list-style: none; padding: 0.3em 2%;

}

.sidebar a { font-family: 'Alegreya Sans SC','Alegreya Sans', Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-style: normal; color: #9bc152; letter-spacing: 0.06em; }

.sidebar a:hover { color: #f6f4ec; }

.design-selection a:nth-of-type(even) { font-family: 'Alegreya Sans', Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; color: #f6f4ec; }

.sidebar a:hover:nth-of-type(even) { color: #47495d; }

.zen-resources h3 { padding: 0.92em; }

.design-archives a, .zen-resources a { color: #47495d; }

Hi Joseph,

in the rule

.design-archives, .zen-resources { display: inline-block; display: 40%; }

replace "display: 40%" with "width: 40%".

This causes the problem.

Best regards, Sebastian

Haven't done this course yet, but is there code that goes a long with this question that you've tried?

Hey Joseph,

"My resources and archives section didn't stack on top of each-other"

What exactly do you mean by that? I haven't taken this course yet either, so we'll need a bit more info on what it is you're trying to do.

In the footer there are sets of links to other pages but the set called resources and the set called archives aren't stacking on top of each other like they're meant to be.
