i don't know what i'm doing wrong, but my css is not working. here's my code:
#gallery li {
float: left;
width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #bdc3c7;
}

2,851 Pointsyes, that's what I thought, but all my images are jumbled up. I don't know where I'm going wrong. I don't think it's a browser issue either.

If I had to take a random guess, your HTML has an issue, and doesn't match up exactly with Nick's.

Treehouse TeacherHi cecil quist,
On line 19 of your CSS, you have a bad selector. Your selector says "image" when it should be "img" instead. Here's the corrected code:
img {
max-width: 100%;
}
I've forked your pen and added the hosted versions of the image assets (from treehousewebsite.com) so you can see what the correction should look like: http://codepen.io/nickpettit/pen/ajqhA
Hope that helps!

2,851 PointsNo it's not a code challenge, it's a practice code on "how to build a website" with Nick Pettit. "style the portfolio" I don't know if you can open this link, but here it is... thanks.
