im not sure

im not to sure what its asking... "Next, let's display .main-logo, .main-nav, and .main-nav li so that they're inline but can be styled as block-level elements."

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Display Modes</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="main-wrapper">  
        <header class="main-header">
            <h1 class="main-logo"><a href="#">My Work</a></h1>
            <ul class="main-nav">
                <li><a href="#">Design</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Coding</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Writing</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Hire Me!</a></li>
            </ul>
        </header>
        <div class="primary col">
            <h1>I'm a Front-end Designer</h1>
            <p>I design beautiful user interfaces, then bring them to life with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I love including personal photographs of nature, people and everyday things in my designs.</p>
            <p>If you need a front-end designer for your next project, <a href="#">take a look at my work</a>, then <a href="#">get in touch</a>!</p>
        </div>
        <div class="secondary col">
            <h2>I Also Write</h2>
            <p>I like teaching others about the latest in web technology. So when I'm not designing or coding websites &amp; apps, you'll find me writing <a href="#">articles for my blog</a>.</p>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
style.css 
.main-header {
padding: 5px;
}

hey there !

its asing you to display those items, as inline and blocks at the same time !

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

You may need to drop the "and" from the selectors so the code is not rejected in the CSS page.
