.main-header {
padding: 5px;
}
The problem with yours is that you left off padding-left

Make sure you are giving .main-header 5px of padding on each side. I don't know if I am doing the coding wrong ..

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Mohammed,
If you post your code that you've tried then someone can point out what you might be doing wrong.

6,204 PointsDid you mix up class and id. You might want to check which one you're using.

padding-toprather thanPadding-topMixing the case could get you into trouble with class and id selectors because class and id's in html are case sensitive.
