Can't get the pictures in a horizontal view, they just stay vertical. (FOUND SOLUTION)

Like many others I can't get the pictures to be next to each other, no matter how much I zoom in they just stay in a vertical line. I even tried other peoples code which they say work but still no luck. I'm going to paste my code if anyone is interested in finding the problem. I use Chrome on a Macbook Pro. (Also, a tip for zooming in more than 400px, press alt+cmd+J and click the mobile-logo, this will allow you to size it really small.)

Okay, I just found the solution: put

<div id="wrapper">
  <section>
    <ul id="gallery">   <<----------------- put the id="gallery" here instead of on the <li>
      <li>
        <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
          <p>Experimentation with color and texture.</p>

Hope this helps anyone who's finding having the same problem.
