confusing

when the challenge is to 'Select' the element with the ID gallery. Then, remove the margin, padding, and bullet points.

It seems like it should say 'Create', no?

If the challenge says to "Select the element wit the ID 'gallery'", that means you're supposed to select #gallery in your CSS file. It's been created in the HTML file, so you're not creating anything in the CSS, just selecting it for editing.

/* in CSS's structure, #gallery would be the selector */ 
#gallery {

}

Here's a good image illustrating the structure of CSS css illustration

Thanks for your explanation and illustration. I 'get' it but honestly, will have to keep reviewing it to have complete comprehension, so the illustration is a huge help. Thanks again. –M
