Responsive.css ... not working. Tried matching index/pages/responsive to Nicks..help

I have reviewed several times the Responsive Web Design video and matched everything to Nicks' that I can see but nothing I've done seems to create either a colored background using marvelousstudent281 nor any columns ... I can't figure it out. My luck it is probably a missing period... LOL

I finally got the About Page to work into 2 columns but the portfolio page still does not change between 2-3 columns when sized.

index.html << <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css">

      <li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li>
      <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>

responsive.css << @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) {

}

I gave up. Thru' i.e. View Source I printed out Nicks' code and matched it by line and character on all pages and still could not figure out what was wrong. Finally, I copied Nicks' code and matched it to my info and am moving on. Hopefully, thru' practice I'll get better at spotting errors but this one is beyond me. Thank you.

I would love to help guide you to a proper solution, but I would need to see your code. Just copy and paste your css using the format from the markdown cheatsheet.
