HELP! I have tried to do several of the steps, as Nick does, but upon doing so I' am not receiving the same results

I tried to make my about page 2 columns, as shown in the video, upon doing so, I resize my screen and nothing has changed. This has also happened in the previous section when adding media queries. I would like to address the issues before moving forward so I'm not on the last lesson or challenge and do not understand my mistakes

sorry alexander im assuming you didn't mean literally lol I don't know how more precise I can get. I'm having problems in css, with using media queries. Isn't that enough info to receive help? Is there a way to show exactly what's on my workspace and share it with you?

Hi Marcus,

Were you able to solve this? If not, your workspace has an icon called 'snapshot' (it's a picture of a camera). Once you have a snapshot of your workspace, you can share the link here on the forum and we can see all of your code and more easily find the problem.

You are missing a closing curly brace after the .profile-photo element

The closing curly brace goes to the top with

@media screen and (min-width: 480px)

but needs to cover the whole section down to profile-photo

EDIT:

I noticed you DO have a closing curly, but it is in the wrong place. Right below .secondary you have the closing curly in the wrong place and is not including the rest of your code.

Hey Marcus,

Do you have the CSS selectors in there? If you copy/pasted your code, it looks like they're missing. For classes you need a period before the name, ie .primary and .secondary. For id it's a "#".

Hope that helps.

It's hard to know what's really going on without also seeing the HTML. Your CSS rule targets an upper-case '.Profilbild', so it would fail if the HTML tag with a class attribute contains, for example, 'profilbild'. Case matters.

If my suggestion doesn't help, please consider posting a new forum question - showing both HTML and CSS code, so that others will be more likely to see it and help you faster.

Cheers

The reason is because responsive.css has a .Profilbild overriding the margin style declaration in main.css.

main.css 
.Profilbild {
  display: block;
  max-width: 150px;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}
responsive.css 
/* remove this style rule */
.Profilbild {
  display:block;
  margin: 0 5% 80px 0;
}
