My images are floating in the wrong column.

I need help to know what I'm looking for. Everything has been separated in to two columns but the icon images are appearing under the text in the left column. I need the images to arrange to the right column like its suppose too.

Hi Sean,

The secondary column has the following css applied to it:

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

It looks like you're not getting that css applied. Check that you have the id written properly in the html <section id="secondary"> and also that you have added the above css in the 480px media query. This happens in the video around the 2:30 mark. You may have some syntax errors in your css that is causing those styles not to be applied.

Hello Sean,

What appears to be missing is a padding/+margin

.contact-info a {
  display:block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px;
}

If I take the last two declarations away, the still not be proper spacing between the elements resulting in that look above ^.

Here is some my css code. I reviewed the padding/margin but I keep getting the same error.

.contact-info { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; font-size: 0.9em; }

.contact-info a { display:block; min-height: 20px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 20px 20px; padding: 0 0 0 30px; margin: 0 0 10px; }

.contact-info li.phone a { background-image: url('../img/phone.png'); }

.contact-info li.mail a { background-image: url('../img/mail.png'); }

.contact-info li.twitter a { background-image: url('../img/twitter.png'); }
