Margin is working, but images are not changing sizes.

After watching the video, my website does not look like the teacher's. Whereas his images are shrunken down, mine are still incredibly large and overlapping. Additionally, my footer has somehow been placed in the middle of the bottom picture.

Here is a link to a snapshot of my workplace: https://w.trhou.se/qkmgawv5d2

Hey Jeffrey, looking at your main.css code I see the following:

images {
  max-width: 100%;
}

silly syntax :smile:

Hi Jeff-

Two questions:

1.) Did you add the responsive .css? Either by clicking it to bring it into workspaces and linking to it in the html (after main.css)? 2.) If yes to the items above, did you float your columns in the two column layout? Also did you set widths to your li (photos)?

This is the final responsive css:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  /****************************
  TWO COLUMN LAYOUT
*****************************/


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

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


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

#gallery li{
    width: 28.3333%;
  }

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

/****************************
  PAGE:ABOUT
*****************************/   

  .profile-photo{
    float: left;
    margin: 0 5% 80px 0;
  }


}

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

  /****************************
  HEADER
*****************************/   

  nav{
    background: none;
    float: right;
    font-size: 1.125em;
    margin-right: 5%;
    text-align: right;
    width: 45%;
  }

  #logo {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 5%;
    text-align: left;
    width: 45%;
  }

  h1{
    font-size: 2.5em;
  }

  h2{
    font-size: 0.825em;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
  }

  header{
    border-bottom: 5px solid #599a68;
    margin-bottom: 60px;
  }

}
