i dont know where i have gone wrong but i cant seem to split the gallery into three columns

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

/************************** two column layout **************************/

primary {

width: 50%; float: left; }

secondary {

width:40% ; float: right; }

/************************** PAGE: PORTFOLIO **************************/
#gallery { width: 28.3333%; } }

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

@media screen and (min-width: 650px) { }

Hi Harrison,

You do need to close off your 480px media query right before the 650px one. As it stands right now, your :nth-child css is not in the 480px media query.

Your main problem though is that you need to apply the 28.3333% width to the list items and not to the unordered list.

#gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
}

Also, take a look at the Teacher's Notes below the video. There's been an update to the nth-child expression. It should be 3n + 1, not 4n.

You have an extra "}" after #gallery

Which (the "extra "}" after #gallery" adamtatusko mentioned) should be before your second @media query
