Adding Horizontal Spaces for In-Line-Block Lists

How do you add spaces between In-Line-Block List items, this one for a navigation element.

On the video, I want to make "Portfolio", "About", and "Contact" spaced out from each other. Preferably also adjusting to the width of the window.

Padding and margins using percentages is a bit more responsive. You can add position:relative to your elements so the the margin and padding will be relative the the elements' parent.

In addition to margins and paddings, you can set widths for block and inline-block elements with pixels (static) or percentage (more responsive). And a new and more responsive option would be to use flexbox to create your navigation.
