Please guys take a second look at my code, it didn’t pass. These are the error messages I got:

  • Failed:13. Your .newspaper-layout element should have a grid-template-areas property with title spanning all three columns of the first row.

  • Failed:14. The second row of the grid template should contain a feature-article spanning two columns and a cover-image.

  • Failed:15. The third row of the grid template should contain a secondary-article spanning two columns and a cover-image.

  • Failed:16. The fourth row of the grid template should contain small-article1, small-article2, and small-article3.

  • Failed:17. Your .newspaper-layout selector should use the grid-template-columns property to divide the space into three equal parts. Remember you can use either the repeat function or manually define each fractional unit.

  • Failed:18. Your .newspaper-layout selector should have a grid-template-rows property set to auto 1fr 1fr 1fr.
