You are missing a semi-colon after 'margin:2.5%'

You wrote:

gallery li {
float:left; width:45%; margin:2.5% background-color:#bfbfbf; color:#f5f5f5; }

It should be:

gallery li {

float:left; width:45%; margin:2.5%; background-color:#bfbfbf; color:#f5f5f5; }

It may help to put each css rule on its own line, so it is easier to troubleshoot in the future:

gallery li {
float:left; 
width:45%; 
margin:2.5%; 
background-color:#bfbfbf; 
color:#f5f5f5; 
}

Thank you for pointing out the problem in a way that required me to figure it out. It is amazing how one semicolon can change a web page but not the meaning of a page in a book.

You probably want to copy your css as code, because the site is thinking that you # characters are headings :)
