Media query for screens below 480px not taking effect? But other media queries working ok?

@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; }

}

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

}

This media query is not for screens below 480px. Your main css is for smaller mobile devices, and this first media query is for devices that are at least 480px, and up to 660px, which is where the second media query starts.

Sorry got confused there. When I reduce the browser size on the contact page the single column layout is not kicking in. Its still stays a two column layout. Maybe my browser window is not small enough and not going below 480px. I am on an iMac.
