The link doesn't exist. You can post your code here using the "Markdown Cheatsheet" link that's right above the button to post your comment. Use three apostrophes followed by the programming language name, your code, and three more apostrophes for closing.

I'm sorry, I typed apostrophe, but it's actually a grave accent (`). Also, press enter after typing the language name, and before typing the three closing grave accents. I'll take a look at your code in the meantime.

I went through both objectives, because I wasn't sure which one you were trying to do. I'm going to assume it's the first objective, somewhere challenge 4. You are not being asked to select any paragraphs within #gallery's linked list items. Your code is also missing pounds/hashes to specify gallery is an id (perhaps the editor removed them, because I doubt you'd be that far in the challenge without using them).

img{
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery{
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style-type: none;
}

#gallery li{
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  color: white;
  background-color: black;
}
