Courses Plus Student 21,242 PointsYou're missing the # selector in front of some of your CSS declarations. In particular, you have gallery li instead of #gallery li which means your CSS is looking for this:
<gallery>
<ul>
<li> ... </li>
</ul>
</gallery>
instead of this:
<ul id="gallery">
<li> ... </li>
</ul>
and thus will not apply the styles to your HTML.
You're also missing # selectors in front of wrapper, logo, and choices.

1,664 PointsHi Ryan, thanks for responding, those are good points. For some reason in my post only my HTML posted correctly and I did have the # in front of the declarations. Below is how I have my CSS and can't figure out why the img are still overlapping. /************************************* GENERAL *************************************/

1,664 PointsMay be I'm doing something wrong when I'm posting because I just noticed that when I copy my CSS it comes out different than when I post my HTML and all the # are missing.

1,664 PointsI found the problem! Under the General section in CSS I misspelled 'img' I had 'imag'
