On my contact page I was able to get two columns but the second column is halfway down the page instead of lining up on the top like the first column. Not sure how to fix this. Any suggestions?

Jonathan Grieve
Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsThe vertical-align CSS property might work for you here.
Try selecting the columns with a CSS class and with something like
.columns {
vertical-align: top;
}
Hopefully both columns shoild align from the top. :-)
Actually failing that it looks like the video wants you to clear floats after a certain number of list items, every 4th list item, assuming you have floats on your primary and secondary columns like in the video.
:nth-child(4n) i
Check out the video around 10 minutes in.
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear: left;
}

3,955 Pointsjust did the 4th item codes but it doesn't fix the contact page columns where my facebook, email and such are. Would I put the .column is my responsive.css or the main.css?
Jonathan Grieve
Treehouse Moderator 91,253 Pointsbest guess would be the responsiveness.css file. as the goal is to do just that, help the website stay responsive.
Just make sure the columns are floated properly as per the videos or if there's no columns to clear then there will be no effect. :-)

/*************************** Two Column Layout ***************************/
primary {
width: 50%; float: left: }
secondary {
width: 40%; float: right;
}
/*************************** Page: Portfolio ***************************/
gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) { clear: left; } }
This is what I have so far
Jonathan Grieve
Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsIt looks like you have a stray closing semi colon in your code. Try removing that and see if it has any effect?
/***************************
Page: Portfolio
***************************/
#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear: left;
}
Good luck. :-)
