I can't get the 2 columns to appear anymore. I am only seeing 3 columns even when screen is sized to smallest setting.

here is the responsive.css

/If page is not a screen (e.g. print screen) or smaller than 480px, than this won't apply portrait mode of phone/

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

/************************************* TWO COLUMN LAYOUT *************************************/

#primary { width: 50%; float: left; }

#secondary { width: 40%; float: right; }

}

/************************************* 3 * 5 = 15 100% - 15% = 85% 85 / 3 = 28.3333333 *************************************/

/************************************ PAGE: PORTFOLIO *************************************/

#gallery li { width: 28.3333%; }

#gallery li:nth-child(4n) { clear: left; }

/landscape mode of phone/

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {

}

The issue is that you are closing the media query off after the #secondary. Try to remove the closing curly bracelet and see if it works. I made the same mistake as yours but fixed after looking at this post.

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#primary { width: 50%; float: left; }
#secondary { width: 40%; float: right; }

} <--- MOVE THIS TO THE BOTTOM STACK. THIS IS CLOSING OFF YOUR MEDIA QUERY.

#gallery li { width: 28.3333%; }
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) { clear: left; }

Youngchul - thank you so much!! That fixed it. I now have a truly responsive experience for phone, tablet/desktop.

Try switching your media queries to max-width from min-width.
