I have ran through your code and have found mistakes/typos on some of these lines below that need amending:
/* Comments list the amendments necessary */
nav ul { list-style:: none; margin: 0 10px; padding: 0; } /* Two colons after list-style (only 1 needed) */
footer { font-size: 0.75em; text-align: center; clear: both; padding-top: 50px; color: #ccc } /* No semi-colon after #ccc */
gallert li a p {
margin: 0; padding: 5%; font-size: 0.75em; color: #bdc3c7 } /* gallery not gallert and color property has no semi-colon after its value */
/* all rules with gallery needs to have a hash sign (#) before the wording to select it by ID */
.socal-icon { width: 20px; height: 20px; margin: 0 5px; } /* .social-icon not .socal-icon */
I think with these changes the styles should work. It was mainly the gallery not being typed as #gallery so the rules weren't applying to it and its child elements.
Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!
