Could you paste your code verbatim in a codeblock?

Like this,

```
*insert code*
```

No worries!

For future reference, make sure to double check that your CSS is the same as the one you’re posting. This would show up as invalid CSS due to the first line not having a subject

In addition, “div clas” would be “class”

It wasn’t difficult to fill in the blanks, though!

The original CSS was well written and great to start off with. However, the “class” variable in the div was unnecessary as it didn’t modify the style. But, now it does!

I decided to use pseudo elements. So, I removed the “style” variable from the div and used CSS snippets instead. This will make your markdown look more clean.
