CSS is notorious for just silently failing if it encounters a syntax error.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 7,405 PointsEdit: i found that i was missing the end bracket in the float clearfix section. Once i added it, the code worked like magic. Thanks again for your help!
Great catch! Although, my code still isnt working as it should. Still appears that neither of the media queries are doing what they should. Full snippet of my code below. Thoughts?
