Hey, I'm trying out the media query feature, but I can't make my browser (Chrome) to resize less than 480px wide. Is there anyone having the same issue as I am, or is this a Chrome issue?

Select either one and your will be able to automatically see the screen size change as you expand or contract the webpage.
This will allow for you to establish that the media query for 480px max width actually works within the chrome browser
@media (max-width: 480px){ body{background:darkred;} }
