505 PointsGrid Problems
Are there problems with the CSS grid file?
My div's with grid_12 haven't really been working. Every time I would use grid_12, the content would stretch across the entire screen instead of being neat, centered, and not the entire screen. I just used the basic container clearfix class for most of the div's after I found out about the grid problem. But, I get to the footer section, and now, even with a grid_12 or whatever in the overarching div, I can't get all three footer elements to go on the same line. I appreciate any assistance. My website is live at www.coreydeanstone.com. THANKS!

Either place the other blocks inside your container or add a class with a width: 90%; max-width: 980px (although for responsiveness the latter would likely be changed in a media query) and use that for all your blocks, including the container, to keep it DRY.

505 PointsI'm following Zac Gordon's tutorial. His example shows all content nice and center on the page, a good ways away from each margin. That's how the top of my site looks, but the bottom content is all the way from margin to margin.

505 PointsThanks. That's what I ended up doing. I'm just a perfectionist, so since I'm mirroring the tutorial, it's frustrating when what I type doesn't result in what's on the tutorial. I'm assuming the code within the tutorial is different, or the tutorial left out some steps, which I have already found to be the case concerning a different issue. Thanks for your assistance, Sean.
