it keeps saying something about maximum width not being set?

can someone lend a hand with the correct code?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

#gallery li {
  width: 100%;
}

If it's task one it's asking for you to select all images use img {} selector and setting it a max-width will fill its parent element by that percentage so to fill it complete 100% is used hope this helps

It can confuse at times but you get there in the end its often only tiny errors and it gets easier with more practice
