Gallery will not split into two columns, Nav is sitting on top of first image?

I cant seem to work this out, img width resizes the images with the browser, but only in a single column.

the bullets are gone and the nav seems to be sitting on top of the first image..

I'm using Google Chrome and Workspaces

hey Tim Mac , for the 2 column vs. 1 column problem you may want to look in your css file. there you have a rule #galley li where it should be #gallery li (missing an r). chances are that after fixing the typo your problem is gone ;)

hope that helps and have a nice day ;)
