The error message is 'Make sure you're selecting the list items inside '.main-nav'.'

You're selecting main-nav. You need to select the list items.

You are targetting the ul with the class main-nav, you need to target the list items within that ul named main-nav. Like so.

header {

.logo {

  margin: auto;

.main-nav li {
