My #primary and #secondary show up highlighted red and when I refresh my site it doesn't go to 2 columns.

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

/******************** TWO COLUMN LAYOUT ********************/

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

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

}

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

}

Hey Julie,

don't forget to put a closing parenthesis after you specify the min-width. Right now you're writing:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px

without a closing parenthesis. It should look like this:

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

Try that and see if it works, if not please let me know! :)
