@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
/***************************************
TWO COLUMN LAYOUT
****************************************/
#primary {
width: 50%;
float: left;
}
#secondary {
width: 40%;
float: right;
}
/***************************************
PAGE: PORTFOLIO
****************************************/
#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}
#gallery li:nth-child(3n + 1) {
clear: left;
}
/***************************************
PAGE: ABOUT
****************************************/
.profile-photo {
float: left;
margin: 0 5% 80px 0;
}
}
@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {
}

Your CSS is great. Perhaps make sure that inside the profile photo element it correctly refers to its class as "profile-photo". Misspellings are the bane of a developer's existence! haha

1,720 PointsAhh, I figured it out I had not added the html line
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css">
to the about.html file. Thank you Marcus for your guidance on how to post and on this specific issue. I had definitely already made sure that I had correctly referenced the profile photo element. That was what was causing me so much grief.

15,719 PointsHey Sean,
Can you wrap your code with the 3 tick marks (same button as ~) as shown in the Markdown Cheatsheet? It will help us better see what's going on with the code. Thanks! :)
