CSS How to Make a Website Styling Web Pages and Navigation Style the Portfolio

The background color of my "Gallery-li" isn't visible and i'm missing a paragraph.. :(

Hi!

I have two problems. First one is that i can't see the Gallery-Li background color i've set in CSS. When checking the code with the inspect element tool from Safari i saw that my code is being removed with a red line. So there must be something blocking it?

Second problem: My browser doesn't show the paragraph of my last Gallery Li.

Hopefully someone can help me solve these problems.

Thanks!

Answer to the first problem: you are missing the number sign "#" in your css declaration: background-color:f5f5f5;

Yeah it's a real trial and error process haha. I've found the solution for the second problem.

nav a, ....... a:visited { color: #fff; }

Forgot to place nav before a:visited.. A minor mistake again.
