## Description
<section id='description'>
The <code>header</code> and <code>footer</code> in the tweet embed example have child items that could be arranged as rows using the <code>flex-direction</code> property. This tells CSS to align the children horizontally.
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Add the CSS property <code>flex-direction</code> to both the <code>header</code> and <code>footer</code> and set the value to row.
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: The <code>header</code> should have a <code>flex-direction</code> property set to row.
    testString: assert(code.match(/header\s*?{[^}]*?flex-direction:\s*?row;/g));
  - text: The <code>footer</code> should have a <code>flex-direction</code> property set to row.
    testString: assert(code.match(/footer\s*?{[^}]*?flex-direction:\s*?row;/g));

```
