I would have to see your code to better help you.

I would recommend you use the developer tools in your browser, to inspect your elements when your having layout issues.

@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(4n) { clear: left; }

/*********************************** PAGE: ABOUT ***********************************/

.profile-photo { float: left; margin: 0 5% 80px 0; }

Text wrapping around floated elements is normal behavior. What is your question?

I would need to see your html in order to say for sure, but most likely you need to add overflow:auto to your image.

When you float an element, you remove it from the normal flow of the document. Overflow:auto forces the browser to treat it as if it does belong in the flow.
