How do I set the top margin to 0?

I'm having trouble setting the top margin to 0. I thought the order went clockwise, starting with the top value.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}
#nav ul {
  float: left;
  margin: 0px 10px;
}

Hey Matthew,

yes, you're right. And you almost got it right. However when the value is zero it doesn't have a unit like px. Oh, and you should also target the nav element, not an element with the id of nav. So if you remove the px unit and the # in front of the nav selector it should work.

nav ul {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 10px;
}

I think your problem is that the nav element does not have an id of nav so when you are selecting you need to select the element like so:

nav ul {
  margin: 0 10px;
}

not sure why your are setting a float left property. when I tried the challenge the first one was only about setting a margin?
