Am I missing something?

Hi. This sounds silly but I get the nebulous feeling that I might have inadvertently left something out. If I include my html and css, hopefully someone with more programming experience can figure it out. First, the html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Sean Flanagan | Medical Records Clerk</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,400italic,700,700italic,900|Roboto+Condensed' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html" id="logo">
        <h1>Sean Flanagan</h1>
        <h2>Medical Records Clerk</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html" class="Selected">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <div id="wrapper">
      <section>
        <ul>
          <li>
            <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
            <p>Experimentation with colour and texture.</p> 
            </a>
          </li>
          <li>
            <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
            <p>Playing with blending modes in Photoshop.</p>
            </a> 
          </li>
          <li>
            <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
            <p>Trying to create an 80's style of glows.</p>
            </a>
          </li>
          <li>
            <a href="img/numbers-09.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-09.jpg" alt="">
            <p>Drips created using Photoshop brushes.</p>
            </a>
          </li>
          <li>
            <a href="img/numbers-12.jpg">
            <img src="img/numbers-12.jpg" alt="">
            <p>Creating shapes using repetition.</p>
            </a> 
          </li>        
        </ul>
      </section>
      <footer>
        <a href="img src="img/Sean.jpg" alt="">
        <p>&copy; 2014 Sean Flanagan.</p>
      </footer>
      </div>    
    </body>  
  </html>

Now, the css:

/********************
General
********************/

body {
  font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0 5%;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

/***************************
Heading
***************************/

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1 {
  font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
  margin: 15px 0;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
  line-height: 0.8em;
}

h2 {
  font-size: 0.75em;
  margin: -5px 0 0;
  font-weight: normal;
}

/***************************
Navigation
***************************/

nav {
  text-align: center;
  padding: 10px 0;
  margin: 20px 0 0;
}

/***************************
Footer
***************************/

footer {
  font-size: 0.75em;
  text-align: center;
  padding-top: 50px;
  color: #ccc;
}
/***************************
Colours
***************************/

/* site body */
body {
  background-color: #fff;
  color: #999;
}

/* blue header on teal border */
header {
  background: blue;
  border: 3px solid teal;
}

/* navigational background on mobile */
nav {
  background: red;
}

/* magenta links */
a {
  color: magenta;
}

nav a, nav a:visited {
  color: white;
}

/* selected navigational link */
nav a.selected, nav a:hover {
  color: #0000ff;
}

I hope there's nothing wrong here. Thanks.

wrapper and logo ?? those are IDs /hopefuly/ , in this case you should always put a "#" before each one of them

Actually I did start the wrapper and logo lines respectively with a hash. Why they've come up in big bold text on here I don't know. Thanks.
