I'd say make sure that the nav elements are display: inline-block and that you give the images some margin.

This initially looks like maybe your media queries are being applied? Could you paste those up here so we can have a look?

Are you using min-width or max-width in your media queries?

heres the media querie code

the thing i have the most problem with is the navigation links, because they change places

the images does not overlap eachother anymore, because i changed border size on them

look at these images and see the behaviour of my website

http://imgur.com/a/AJiVf (scroll down to see all of the images)

gallery li:nth-child(2n+1) {

clear:left; } @media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

/**************************************** TWO COLUMN LAYOUT *****************************************/

#primary { width: 50%; float: left; }

#secondary { width: 40%; float: right; }

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

#gallery li { width: 28.3333%; }

#gallery li:nth-child(2n+1) { clear: none;

}

#gallery li:nth-child(3n+1) { clear:left; }

  /****************************************
      PAGE: ABOUT
      *****************************************/

.profile-photo { float: left; margin: 0 5% 80px 0; }

}

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {

 /****************************************
HEADER
 *****************************************/


nav {
display: inline-block;
  background: none;
  float: right;
  font-size: 1.125em;
  margin-right: 5%;
  text-align: right;
  width: 45%;
}

#logo {
 float: left;
  margin-left: 5%;
  text-align: left;
  width: 45%;
}

h1 {
 font-size: 2.5em;    
}

h2 {
  font-size: 0.825em;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}

header {
  border-bottom: 10px solid #599a68;
  margin-bottom: 65px;
}

Ok cool,

Have you tried:

#gallery li:nth-child(4n) { clear: left; }

/************************************************** PAGE: ABOUT **************************************************/

.profile-photo { float: left; margin: 0 5% 80px 0; }

As opposed to your current #gallery li:nth-child(3n + 1) rules? Try the replacing with the code above and see how that looks.

Hope that helps,

Let me know how you get on!
