"Clear" not doing anything to my footer?

Just figured it out: EDITING FOR PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE: Make sure your "footer" selector/rule is AFTER the "header" selector that contains the images (Which you added the float:left deceleration to). I had my "footer" rule BEFORE the "header" which was screwing things up. (I was trying to 'clear' the "footer" of the float which never had a float applied to it because the header selector (which DID have the float applied to it) was AFTER my footer rule.)

Hopefully that make sense

footer {

font-size: 0.75em;

  /*This will align the text of the footer to the center*/

 text-align: center;

  /* This will clear the footer section of floating around the 
  gallery pictures. In other words we are going to clear the footer section on boths sides from being influenced by the "float" element of the pictures 
  --The clear property is used to control the behavior of floating elements.
  This property will clear the footer on "both sides" */

  clear:both;

  padding-top: 50px;

  color: #ccc;
}

However my footer doesnt move

While I'm asking, how do I insert pictures into questions?
