Why doesn't the "heading" section stretch all the way across to the second and third columns for me?

https://w.trhou.se/m3xl9cgd3o

My grid doesn't seem to be working completely properly. 

grid-template-areas:
    "head head head"
    "main abot news"
    "main link adss"
    "main foot foot";

My grid-template areas seems to be written correctly, but the "heading" section only is in the first column. I've tried playing with it a little bit by replacing "head" with "..." and nothing changes.

Workspace is attached, would love it if someone could shed a little light on this for me... As far as I can see, my code is mostly identical to Guil's, only I've used 4-letter names for my grad-area names.

Thank you in advance!

The HTML code in lines 9-15 of "layout.css" is a CSS syntax error and is causing the "header" rule to be ignored. Those lines should be removed.

Then the "grid-row" property on line 19 is contradicting the template area layout.

Thank you, that was exactly it. I had copied that code from my HTML as a reference and forgot to delete it. Really appreciate you taking the time to give it a look. Thank you so much
