Here is my main.CSS file

/************************ Gerneal ****************************/ body{ font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;

}

wrapper {

max-width:940px; margin: 0 auto;

padding:0 5%; }

a {

text-decoration:none; }

img { max-width: 100%;

}

/************************ Header ****************************/

logo {

text-align:center; margin:0; }

h1 {font-family:'Changa One', sans-serif; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight:normal; line-height:0.8em; }

h2 { font-size:0.75em; margin:-5px 0 0; font-weight:normal;}

/************************ Navigation ****************************/ nav { text-align:center; padding: 10px 0; margin: 20px 0 0 ; }

/************************ footer ****************************/ footer { font-size:0.75em; text-align:center; padding-top:50px; color:#ccc

}

/************************ PAGE: portfolio ****************************/

/* green header */ header { background-color:#6ab47b; border-color:#599a68; }

/* nav background mobile */ nav{ background: #599a68; }

/* logo text */ h1,h2 { color:#fff; }

/* links */ a { color:#6ab47b; }

/* nav link */ nav a, nav a:visited {

color:#fff; } /* selected nav link */ nav a.selected, nav a:hover { color:#32673f;

My facebook and twitter graph is in the right side and there were no space between each image. I dun know where did I do wrong. Could the error exist in index.html?

What is happening that makes you think there is a problem? An error, something not displaying correctly? Also please check the "Markdown Cheatsheet" to see how to enter code so that it will display in the proper format, so it is readable in the chat.

It displays incorrectly. In the video, there were space between each images and Twitter logo is at the bottom. Mine is no space between image and twitter logo is in the upper right side.

Hello Ting-Chieh, Were you able to get it to display correctly yet? I'm working on the same exercise and mine is OK. Your css appears to be ok. Here is what I have in html to make the css code work This code is input just after "wrapper" and before your fist anchor img number 1 code.

<section>
        <ul id="gallery">
          <li>

Let me know if this helps you at all. <br> Thanks Bob.
