788 PointsMy portfolio gallery images are not shrinking into two columns when the browser is smaller.
Here is my responsive.css code below. Please let me know what is missing. I also don't know how to attach my code with this question.
@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; }
@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {
}

It should be like this #gallery li... this means target all the li inside the #gallery. In addtion, the second issue is not using the :nth-child() pseudo class correctly. Thirdly, you have additional clsoing bracket on the #primary element. Check the MSD for more information using the :nth-child() selector @ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/%3Anth-child
/********************************** TWO COLUMN LAYOUT ***********************************/
#primary { width:50%; float: left; }
#secondary { width: 40%; float: right; }
/********************************** PAGE: PORTFOLIO ***********************************/
#gallery li {
width:28.3333% }
#gallery li:nth-child(3n + 1) {
clear: left; }
@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {
}

Courses Plus Student 17,330 PointsFirst thing I notice is there's a second curly brace after the #secondary so you've closed your first media query before gallery li and gallery li:nth-child are rendered. If that's not on purpose I would start there. Hope it helps.
click the Markdown Cheatsheet link for info on posting code.

gallery li {

gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear: left; }
@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {
