Can't tell if this is a formatting issue but are you missing the id selector on your gallery selectors?

#gallery {
}

#gallery li {
}

Another thing to check is that your styles are actually being loaded and applied. Open the developer tools and check the network tab to ensure you css file is being included (should have a status of 200).

If your stylesheet is included right click the gallery element and select Inspect. In the styles tab you should be able to see the styles that are being applied to the element and what stylesheet they are coming from.

You also appear to be missing a semi-colon at the end of the style declaration although this could be a formatting issue again.

nav a.current, nav a:hover { color: red }

I'd encourage you to get into the habit of following a css style guide (e.g. https://github.com/airbnb/css) as this will definitely help in your career.

This css looks fine to me. I'm assuming by dots you mean the bullet points on the #gallery unordered list element. I would check that your stylesheet is being loaded and that the styles are being applied by using the developer tools as I suggest in my amended answer.

My bad Paul. I mistakenly granted the name #gallery not to the proper ul list. I did it for nav ul list of the menu. I hope this is because I am a newbie
