        flex-direction: row; }

        form { display: grid;
        grid-gap: 1em;
        grid-template-columns: 12em 1fr;
        width: 60%; }
        input[type="submit"] { grid-column: 2 / 3;

        table { width: 80%;  } 
    

    @media (min-width: 1045px) {
        header { background: url(LogoDesign1.png) no-repeat left,
        url(LogoDesign1.png) no-repeat right,

        .home { height: 50vh; }
        .content { height: 50vh; }
        #wrapper {margin: auto;
        width: 75%; } 
        footer { margin: auto;
        width: 75%; }
        table { width: 65%; } }

Here is my css ^

`<div id="wrapper">
<main>

    </ul>

    <div id="homeimg">
    </div>
    
    <span class="name">Furry Baby</span><br>

    Tampa, Florida, 33606<br><br>
    <a id="mobile" href="tel:888-555-5555">888-555-5555</a>
    <span id="desktop">888-555-5555</span>


</main>`

Here is part of my home page ^

I’ve tried using a flexbox row container to align them and it does not work, I’ve tried setting them both to float left and right, respectively. Ideally, I would want the picture on the left and the list on the right but no matter what I try either the list ends up off the page/unaligned or the image just doesn’t show up if I put it to float.

    You can wrap your content in a .wrapper class, and apply flexbox to it, and group your two sections into divs. Something like this:

    body { background-color: #3799DF;
    color:#1B78BB;
        font-family: Arial;
        margin: 0; color: white; }

.wrapper {
  display: flex;
  gap: 1rem;
}
    <div id="wrapper">
<main>
<div>
  <div class="wrapper">
    <div id="homeimg">
      <img src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/36717/amazing-animal-beautiful-beautifull.jpg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=1&w=500" />
    </div>

    so I would start with making sure that I understand css flexbox properly. By this I mean reading those articles:

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_flexible_box_layout/Basic_concepts_of_flexbox

    https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

    And later on I would try to implement flexbox in similar fashion to the snippet below. You are on the right track, just keep on going 🙂

    .flex {
  display: flex;
}

.flex-row {
  flex-direction: row;
}

.justify-between {
  justify-content: space-between;
}

.w-full {
  width: 100%;
}

.bg-red {
  background-color: red;
}

.bg-blue {
  background-color: blue;
}

.bg-yellow {
  background-color: yellow;
}
    <div class="flex flex-row justify-between w-full bg-yellow">
  <ul class="bg-red">
    <li>Leashes</li>
    <li>Collars</li>
    <li>Toys</li>
    <li>Treats</li>
    <li>Cages</li>
    <li>And more!</li>
  </ul>

  <div id="homeimg" class="bg-blue">
    There will be some img I guess.
  </div>
</div>
