Why are my images not in 2 columns?

I think I've followed everything to the letter so any help in seeing what I'm doing wrong is appreciated. I've tried adding "ul" in front of "#gallery" and it doesn't help.

Hi Michael,

You have a few missing colons and semi colons in your code.

header {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 0 30px 0;
  padding 5px 0 0 0; /* missing colon */
  width: 100%;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45% /* missing semi-colon */
  margin: 2.5% /* missing semi-colon */
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

There may be more i missed so have a check of your code.

Hope this helps.

Nothing like a pair of fresh eyes when looking at code. 8-)
