It seems like I am really close to finishing my implementation of addMarker. I'm using markers with labels, I've got the articles loaded into an JSON object, and I've created the content to pass to the showInfo function. It looks like we should be passing content to showInfo as a string of HTML, which I have all beautiful and set up.

The problem is that when I do that, my console is giving me the error copied below, and the info window's content is not showing up. How can I fix this? Am I wrong in thinking that the content argument of showInfo should be a string of HTML?

Answer: showInfo expects marker and content as arguments, in that order. I was passing them in the wrong order. When you get an error like that, you have to go back and check every little thing!
