include header

So I followed the instructions on including the header but somehow when I refresh the page, the website looks completely different that what it was before, there's no navigation bar up top and it seems as if a lot of the content is missing.

Are you sure that the relative link "inc/header.php" is correct? You html and php look good, so I think that you might have the header.php file in the wrong place.
