Hello!
1) My .main-logo or h1 in the header and my lis have the same padding:10px 20px; but when I give the main-logo a grid-2, the width becomes incredibly long, much much longerer than when I give it grid-1. Why does the h1 or main-logo appear so wide?
2) When you narrow the viewport just a little, you will see the links collapse, why do they collapse?
3) When you narrow the viewport to the narrowest range, you will see the lis stack on each other with no space in btween. I gave the lis a margin-top:12px; so why doesn't this rule work?

15,254 PointsIn your CSS you have two grid-2 classes. Try changing the second one (with width: 23.5%) to
.grid-3 {
width: 23.5%;
}
Good luck!
