gallery li {

float: left; margin: 0; width: 45%; padding:0%; list-style: none;

Hi Furquan,

To put HTML/CSS/JavaScript in a forum post:

  1. hit return to create a new line and type three back tick characters ```

  2. hit return to create another new line and paste your HTML

  3. hit return and add three more back tick characters: ``` The back tick character isn't the same as the single quote -- ' -- mark; the back tick is located on the same key as the ~ on most keyboards.

Also to add correct color highlighting add the name of the language after the back ticks like this: ```CSS. Here's what CSS should look like in a forum post:

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
}

Furquan,

The margin, padding and list-style properties aren't supposed to go the the #gallery li selector. Those go in the #gallery selector. The float and width go in the #gallery li selector in this code challenge.
