My mobile site is not showing a two-column layout. Can someone explain why?

Hi Irma

Your problem is here

/********************
PAGE PORTFOLIO
*********************/

#gallery {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;

}

#gallery {
float: left;
width: 35%;
margin: 2.5%;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #bdc3c7;
}

You forget to put li and also the width is 45%. It should be like this:

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

Good luck

I suggest you copy all your CSS and go to http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ and paste it under "direct input". Check for any mistakes there, if you can't find any, come back and I'll try and help you some more. :)

Thank you for site. I did that and it found no errors. My layout is not correct though.The footer is at top next to the first image and the rest of the images are stacked in a single column.

I found the issue. I did put gallery li {}.I did not specify the gallery list.
