 * I am currently doing a website just on localhost at present. I have added a div
   to index.php and wrote up some css, but it is not showing on the page. I checked
   and have the correct coding in place. Using firebug, the div is not showing up.
   Any ideas would be appreciated. I checked the backend editor and the code is 
   showing up in index.php.
    Thanks.

 * That sounds a bit strange because the DIV should show if you see it in the code.
   Did you double check the code. A DIV code looks like this:
 *     ```
       <div>
         <h3>This is a heading</h3>
         <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * I mean, it’s difficult to troubleshoot something without seeing the site.

 * The code was <div id=”featured”></div>
 * I was going to add an image to div via css.

 * But you’re adding an empty div. Not sure what you’re tryin to achieve but you
   could ad the image code to that div and then style it with CSS.

 * I did add an image src but did not work, so tried adding via css, but to no avail.
