Treehouse TeacherI'm sorry. Which part of my instructions were unclear? Are you not finding the camera icon?

2,170 PointsHi, I have the same issue with the gallery not splitting up into 2 columns, instead my footer is up at the top in what looks like it should be the second column.
Here is my snapshot: https://w.trhou.se/p7xqkh6y43

2,170 PointsWell, I figured out part of it at least.
I had
gallery {} instead of #gallery li {}, now there are two columns, but my footer is still in an odd place (next to the 12 as if it is a part of the gallery instead of at the bottom of the page)
Jennifer Nordell
Treehouse TeacherSuzanne Dondero Yup was just about to post the answer about the li. Well done on fixing that part yourself!
The footer is appearing at an odd place because it too is floating upwards to fill the empty space. You can fix this by going into the main.css and adding a line at the top of your footer selector.
footer {
clear: both;
font-size: 0.75em;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 50px;
color: #ccc;
}
This will tell it to clear the floats. Later on down the line you'll learn about other "clear-fixes" in CSS.

2,170 PointsThanks Jennifer, I realized that I should have waited until the end of the video to mention the footer floating. That was resolved by the end :-)
Thanks again!

Treehouse TeacherWe're going to need to see your workspace with all of your code and file structure. The easiest way to accomplish this is to link us a snapshot of your workspace. In your workspace you'll find a camera icon on the upper right-hand side. Use that to make a snapshot then open the link. Copy the link and paste it here so that we can look at the entire thing. Chances are good that the problem is elsewhere in your code.
