I don't know if this is what you want. I had to rearrange the selectors somewhat. Hope that doesn't bother you. I have renamed secondsecondaryContent to secondSecondaryContent and all its properties to keep the name convention. Furthermore I have changed the paths of the images to /images, so please keep this is mind when the images are missing while testing.
