I cannot get my images to float into 2 columns. Please advise. My code is found here: https://w.trhou.se/cywxi538ij

HTML: <section> <ul id="gallery"> <l1> <a href=img/numbers-01.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> <p>Experimentation with color and texture.</p> </a> </l1> <l1> <a href=img/numbers-02.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt=""> <p>Playing with blending modes in Photoshop.</p> </a> </l1> <l1> <a href=img/numbers-06.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt=""> <p>Trying to create an 80s style of glows.</p> </a> </l1> <l1> <a href=img/numbers-09.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-09.jpg" alt=""> <p>Drips created using Photoshop brushes.</p> </a> </l1> <l1> <a href=img/numbers-12.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-12.jpg" alt=""> <p>Creating shapes using repetition.</p> </a> </l1> </ul> </section>

It looks like your list elements are not labeled correctly. Try this:

 <li>
    <a href=img/numbers-01.jpg">
    <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
    <p>Experimentation with color and texture.</p>
    </a>
</li>
