Can't get gallery to divide into columns.

Can someone help me figure out why my gallery won't split into columns?

Hey Zack,

It looks like you have a typo in declaring the ul class after the section tag. You used a colon instead of an equal sign.

Change

<ul id:"gallery">

to

<ul id="gallery">

And it should be good. :)

:dizzy:

Don't worry about the bullet points for now. Where you are in the course, it is normal that they are there. Soon, Nick will explain why they are there and what you need to do to get rid of them. For now, all's good.

Thank you very much for answering so quickly. You were very helpful. It probably would have taken me forever to find that typo.
