Resizing the page doesn't change 2 column layout to 1 column.

Seems to me I'm following Nick perfectly, yet I don't understand where the problem is.

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

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

It wouldn't do it automatically, not with an element that it's been floated out of normal document flow.

You need a media query or two to change the way the element is layed out on the page so they're not floated so they appear as columns but rather that they're on top of each other. 

@media screen (max-width: 480) {
   .profile-photo {
 display: block;
width: 80%
  margin: 0 5% 80px 0;
}
}

Thanks, that worked for me too.

But Nick had already written 

.profile-photo{
  display:block;
}

in main.css.

So why do we need to rewrite that declaration?

Thanks!
