2,065 PointsWhen I add in this: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0> It basically breaks everything
It breaks every page I add it to. Everything works up until this point and I haven't needed to ask any questions. This is to scale the website to different screen sizes. I am on the front end web-development track on the "Adjust the Profile and Header" Video. This breaks basically everything in the body...red everywhere.

You're just missing the " at the end of the string
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
Should fix it.
Without the closing string character, the broswer keeps scanning for the end of the string past the end of your meta tag, and then when it finds one the meta tag doesn't make any sense anymore, and because it's right at the head of the document, the error happens before the rest is even loaded
Hope it helps :)

2,065 PointsDude! How did I miss that?! I guess maybe its because its the longest string I've typed out so far? Anyway, your super fast response is greatly appreciated and just backs up what Ive heard about Treehouse and the awesome experience I'm having myself.
You made my day. Thank you.
