My responsive.css does not work when I load it. Can someone please take a look? I would really appreciate it.

@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%; }

}

Are you sure it's loading correctly? I've come to like using

* {
  border: 1px solid red;
}

to check if the file's actually loading because it sets a red border around all elements. Often times when something is not being applied (or entire css is not loading) is because I misspelled something.

I don't see where you've closed your first media query

Yep, maybe that's why it's not rendering. Try this:

@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; }

} // closing media query here.

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

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

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

} // closing media query here.

Cheers!

Thank you for helping me!

In that last part where you typed "} // closing media query here. "

Is that just a note for me to understand better? Or is the proper syntax that I should follow?

Yes that is just a note or comment. Like in htmls <!-- comment --> in css we use // or /* comment */

Cheers!

Thank you Owa Aquino! I am not able to select your answer as the "best answer", for some reason.

You really helped me out!
