Hi there, I don't quite get the logic of how footer is included with the #gallery li for float > back to footer.

As stated:

gallery li doesn't include footer. But when float is written, it follows suit so we need to go back to footer to write: clear: both.

I don't quite get the logic on this part. Or did I miss out any info here?

Thanks!

Floats are confusing at first. Basically using clear allows you to keep certain elements from floating. Check this video out it does a good job of explaining visually. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xara4Z1b18I
