Following the directions from the positioning video, and I can not get my h1 inline with the ul.

I'm trying to get my h1 on the same line as the ul. any suggestions?

<header class="main-header">
            <div class="container">
            <h1 class="name">Aishah Griffin</h1>
            <nav class="navigation">
                <ul class="main-nav">
                    <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
                    <li><a href="projects.html"> Projects</a></li>
                    <li><a href="contact.html"> Contact </a></li>
                </ul>
            </nav>
            </div>
        </header>

.name,
.main-nav,
.main-nav li
{
    display: inline;
}

What video are you following if you don't mind me asking? Floating your h1 will put both elements side by side.

I'm following the "Positioning Elements side by side with inline display" video within the css layout basics.

Should I float to the left?

when I change it to this:

.name {
    float: left;
}

.main-nav li {
    float:right;
    display: inline;

}

they're not displayed evenly

Looks like Guil's code doesn't have the nav tag surrounding the unordered list that you included in your code.
