I am having a similar problem to some of the others here. I've looked at a couple of questions and my code looks like it should be correct.
I am pretty sure I am missing something silly like a " or , or soemthing similar. but I can't seem to find it.
I took a snapshot of my code.

4,078 PointsOKKK I finally got it!! This was harder than what I expected. OK Go on your Main.css and under #gallery li {
gallery li {
float: left; width 45%; ( This has to be this way ---> width: 45%; note the 2 dots after "width" margin: 2.5%; background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #bdc3c7; }

2,908 PointsI really need to stop posting questions when exausted. i forgot to put the actual problem... the problem is the gallery formatting is not showing up correctly, the pictures are not sizing, and the background color changes aren't displaying

2,908 Pointsthat should be only on H1
Giuseppe Privitera
4,078 PointsInstead of having this: <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+On | Open+Sans:400,400italic,700italic,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Have this: (note the [ %O7C ] before Open+Sans:400,400italic,700italic,800'..................) <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One%7COpen+Sans:400,400italic,700italic,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

2,908 Pointsany suggestions?

2,908 Pointsafter looking closer, the only formatting that isn't working is the picture floating. They do re-size when the page is moved, the colors look correct, but the pictures are all in 1 column.
