Hey Isaiah!

It looks like you forgot to add a ** ; ** after width:40% in your responsive.css

Before

#secondary {
    width: 40%
    float: right;
}

After

#secondary {
    width: 40%;
    float: right;
}

The semi-colon ( this => ; ) is pretty much like a full stop to a sentence. If no full stop, the 2 sentences will join together.

Hope this helps!

Mike.
