Images are still appearing vertically after applying #gallery and #gallery li? (Not in columns of two)

HTML:

<nav> <ul class="gallery"> <li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Gallery</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> </ul>
</nav>

CSS:

/************************* PAGE: GALLERY *************************/

gallery {

margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none;
}

gallery li {

float: left; width: 45%; margin: 2.5%; background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #bdc3c7; }

Is this because my images aren't the same size? Also my navigation links are now appearing in columns of two but the images aren't.

You're using id selectors

#gallery {
  /* css */
}

but you've decorated your ul tag with a class... to target an element with class, use a leading '.' as the class selector

.gallery {
  /* css */
}

Note:

You're question appears all funny because the pound character (#) is rendering as a markdown header. check the markdown cheatsheet to see how to get your css (or other code) to display using 3 back ticks (```)
