Nesting all of the HTML elements will include all of the HTML text that you have so far.

Do you recall how to include a task? (hint <div class…)

So looks like the class has to cover the whole code, so it has to open (<div…) at the beginning and the last line of the code has to be

So the line has to be included for every website that is responsive? And is it this link that holds all the css definitions like container-fluid

So the line

<link rel=“stylesheet” href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css"> has to be included for every website that is responsive? And is it this link that holds all the css definitions like container-fluid

and end the /div at the end of your code.

This exercise is a little blurry on what it wants from you. Basically it’s asking you to make a “div”, which we learned earlier is used to section off a portion of your code so that it doesn’t play by the same rules as some of the other stuff you already set up. Here, it’s asking you to make all of your code (below the style stuff) a div, and its asking you to make it a class called “container-fluid”. If you’re not sure how to make it a class, now would be the time to go back and learn it again.
