So, I can't seem to get my profile photo in the about page to float left. really not sure what I am doing wrong.

@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(3n + 1) {
    clear: left;
  }

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

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







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

}

Hey Sean,

Can you wrap your code with the 3 tick marks (same button as ~) as shown in the Markdown Cheatsheet? It will help us better see what's going on with the code. Thanks! :)

If you add the word "css" right after the tick marks, it will enable highlighting as well, but you don't necessarily have to :P

Your CSS is great. Perhaps make sure that inside the profile photo element it correctly refers to its class as "profile-photo". Misspellings are the bane of a developer's existence! haha

There we go, thanks for that, I was wondering how people were posting their code that way :>

Ahh, I figured it out I had not added the html line

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

to the about.html file. Thank you Marcus for your guidance on how to post and on this specific issue. I had definitely already made sure that I had correctly referenced the profile photo element. That was what was causing me so much grief.
