3,701 Points{SOLVED} Still getting bullet points!
I'm at the part where I've set the gallery list style and the gallery list values (float, width, color, etc) and the two column website is taking shape but there is still a bullet point before every photo. I changed the list style to none so why is this happening?

You need to make sure you are targeting either the unordered list 'ul' or list element 'li' with the style none. Just double check which element it is applied to. So with something like:
<div id="wrapper">
<section>
<ul id="gallery">
<li>
<a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
<img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
<p>Experimentation with colour and texture.</p>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</section>
</div>
/* Any of these should work, but '#gallery' is your best option because it
directly selects the desired target */
#gallery { list-style:none; }
ul { list-style:none; } /* though this will do all 'ul' */
You just need to make sure the 'list-style:none' is being applied to the element that has a list style to start with.

3,701 PointsSetting the ul id = "gallery" fixed my problem! Thanks!
Still not sure why I had to set the ul id to "gallery," instead of setting the section id to "gallery," which is what I had done before.

3,701 PointsAhh, I see...so this code is wrong? What I did was to set the section id = "gallery," instead of setting the ul id = "gallery." Can you explain why that would be a problem?
<div id="wrapper"> <section id="gallery"> <ul> <li> <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> <p>Experimentation with Color and Texture</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt=""> <p>Playing with blending modes in Photoshop</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt=""> <p>Trying to Create an 80's glow</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-09.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-09.jpg" alt=""> <p>Drips created using Photoshop brushes</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-12.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-12.jpg" alt=""> <p>Creating shapes using repitition</p> </a> </li> </ul> </section>

What you can do is select the ul inside the section so your css will look like:
#gallery ul{
/*css rules here will affect the ul nested inside the section with id gallery*/
}

27,419 PointsIt's not necessarily wrong, it just means that if you apply something to '#gallery' it is to the parent, not the child 'ul' item. You can change your css to target the child of a parent by showing both elements separated with a space, so your css would look like this:
#gallery ul { list-style:none; }
