Hi everyone i spent a lot of times building this, i just thought that would be nice to share with you the exercice finally solved.

Index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
    <title>Blog Post Card</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
    <div class="blog-post-card">
    <img class="post-img" src="https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/labs/cover-photo.jpg" alt="image d'un Ă©cran d'ordinateur">
    <div class="post-content">
    <h2 class="post-title">Learn Web Development in 2024</h2>
    <p class="post-excerpt">Stay ahead of the curve with the latest trends in web development. Discover what's new and exciting in 2024</p>
    <a class="read-more">Read More</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Careful all "class"are linked so don’t close the “div”.

Those are my own settings that i found myself it took a long time to find what could fit almost perfectly, try to find by yourself before to reveal the spoiler.

Good luck Friends !

Why would you not close your div elements? Closing an element has nothing to do with styling.

Cause when i closed it it wouldn’t work with the checkpoint i so i just close the div at the end of the code not everytime, i mean i didn’t use /div un til the end of the code

There is a small error in your stylesheet. The closing curly brace for your .post-excerpt selector is flipped.
