Need help with list items!

Hi,

I'm new here so not sure whether I can link to my Workspace, but here goes: https://teamtreehouse.com/workspaces/14751312#

Last night I noticed that my list items within the "gallery" id were not horizontally central on mobile devices (I was testing on iPhone 6 Plus). In my Responsive.css file I changed the margin from 2.5% to auto and this fixed it:

@media screen and (max-device-width: 479px) and (orientation: portrait)

gallery li {

float: left;
width: 100%;
margin: auto;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #bdc3c7;

...however it introduced a new issue where there is no longer any space between the list items, so they are all vertically bunched together.

Any ideas? :)

Thanks

James

I would look into giving your list items a top or bottom margin.

here is a great post on margins:

I agree maybe give the items a margin-top of 10px or so. I hope this helps!
