How do you create two columns for images in a gallery?

I can't figure out what is wrong with my code so that my images will appear in two columns and bullet points will be excluded. Below is the code I have written.

/************************** GENERAL ***************************/

body { font-family: 'Cuprum', sans-serif; }

wrapper {

max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; }

a { text-decoration: none; }

img { max-width: 100%; }

/************************** PAGE: PORTFOLIO ***************************/

gallery {

margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }

gallery li {

float: left; width: 45%; margin: 2.5%; background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #bdc3c7; }

Hi, Mary,

I think the problem is in the selector gallery li.

Write ul#gallary li instead of gallery li. Why?

  1. gallary is and id so it needs the sign # infront of it
  2. gallray is an universal list so it needs ul infront of it
  3. it is gallary not gallery (note the letter e instead of a)

For the footer you can write footer {clear:both;} to push it to the bottom.

Hope it helps, Maja

Thank you Maja! Your suggestion worked and now my page looks as it is suppose to. ~Mary
