page not splitting into columns

nothing is happening when I try to lengthen the screen. the primary and secondary columns are still stacked on top of each other no matter how wide i make the window.

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

/******************************** two column layout ********************************/

#primary { width: 50%; float: left; }

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

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {

}

here is the code from the contact page

it looks like you forgot to add the css to your contact html. if you are following along with the video it will go under your main.css and look like this/ link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css" / if you named it something other then responsive just change that out but that should get it up and working.
