#logo will not float left

I've managed to get the nav section to float to the right but the #logo portion will not float left . Here is my code

@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(4n) { clear: left; }

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

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

}

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

/* header */

nav { 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%;

}

I left the ending bracket for the second media query out in my code posting, but I have it in the text editor and the problem still remains

To facilitate analysis, it might help to make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

And when posting code directly, use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:   Or watch this video on code formatting.

The div itself is floated left, but it has a width of 45% and the heading elements inside it are aligned to its center (main.css, line 205).

Those snapshots are very helpful for tracking down issues (and saving space in the question)!

When you look at the rendered page, do you see this "logo" element in the wrong place? Or is it not visible at all?

When I look in the HTML I don't see any element with an ID of "logo". The CSS appears to be good, but I would guess that this element still needs to be added to the HTML.

I couldn't find the element either. It appears I missed a step to include the "logo" element in my html. I've followed the directions in each video to a tee so this is odd.
I attempted to fix the issue in my html on the about.html page. this is the revised snapshot : https://w.trhou.se/xlzmbs2xoj Unfortunately the section is not flushing entirely left like in the video. Any recommendations?
