Still only One column showing...Help

Here is my code.....I use Firefox. I cannot see why I'm still only seeing one column.

CSS Below:

/************** GENERAL **************/

body { font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; }

wrapper {

max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; }

a { text-decoration: none; }

img { max-width: 100%; }

/************** HEADING **************/

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0; }

h1 { font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 0.8em; }

h2 { font-size: 0.75em; margin: -5px 0 0; font-weight: normal; }

/************** NAVIGATION **************/

nav { text-align: center; padding: 10px 0; margin: 20px 0 0; }

/************** FOOTER **************/

footer { font-size: 0.75em; text-align: center; padding-top: 50px; color: #ccc; }

/************** PAGE: PORTFOLIO **************/

gallery {

margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }

gallery li {

float: right; width: 45%; margin: 2.5%; background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #bdc3c7; }

/************** COLORS **************/

Robert Richey is right. Also, I think in your CSS rule, you mean to be targeting the list items inside #gallery, not the anchor element.

#gallery li {
  float: right;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

Hey there - it's kind of hard to see what your code is saying. Can you wrap each block of code in Markdown tags like this:

```CSS

[your CSS code here]

```

```HTML

[your HTML code here]

```

Just a small typo to fix. Change the colon preceding gallery with and equal sign.

<!-- before change -->
<ul id:"gallery">

<!-- after change -->
<ul id="gallery">

Hope this helps,

Cheers
