"About" page not becoming 2 columns layout

Hi!

My "about" page does not become a 2 columns layout.

My CSS:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) { /* TWO COLUMN LAYOUT */

#primary {
  width: 50%;
  float: left;
}

#secondary {
  width: 40%;
  float: right;
}


/* PAGE: PORTFOLIO */

#gallery li {
  width: 28.3333%;
} 

#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
  clear: left;
}

/* PAGE: ABOUT */

.profile-photo {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 5% 80px 0;

} }

I can say your HTML looks free of errors. However, I can't see enough of the CSS to truly understand what is preventing a 2 column layout for you. Could I ask you to post more (if not all) of your CSS as well?

Or better yet, do you happen to have a live link where we could see this?

Hey Paula!

Unfortunately, I couldn't follow those links. But...

I'm not seeing any id of "primary or "secondary". The only style implemented in the CSS here seems to be the class "profile-photo", which is floated left. The following text is behaving accordingly. Add those in appropriately should get you on the right road.

Hope this helps!
