Why couldn't the contents of '#gallery li' be written in '# gallery'? Also, how do we ensure that the footer stays at the bottom of the page and is not included in the 2nd column?

The footer is moving up into the second column because the images above it are floated. In order to fix this you will need to clear the float in the footer by adding the "clear: both;" declaration to your footer element selector. This will tell the browser to clear the float property which will put the footer on a line by itself.
