Media Querie problem!

Hello, i have a problem adjusting my layout for mobile/tablet versions, i started with the desktop layout wich maybe was a bad idea, but any way.

heres a picture of how it looks like when i resize the browser!

http://imgur.com/obhp3cb

you can see how the links go over the logo and the wraps, my idea is that at 680px the logo and the links are centered, and the links are under the logo, and they stay that way all the way to the smallest screen. but ive tried many things, but i cant seem to fix the problem, i've posted about this before, but i havent got any clear answer.

So if anyone could help me change the code im about to link and explain it so i know whats happening, i would be gratefull.

heres the code for the responsive css!

@media screen and (max-width: 680px) {

    header {
      height: 130px;
    }


  .nav {
    display: block;
      position: absolute;
      width: 50%;
      height: 75%;
       margin-top: 70px;
      margin-right: 20px;
      margin-bottom: 0px;
      margin-left: 20px;

    }

    header img {
      margin: 0 auto;
    }

    .intro-pic {   
      width: 70%;
      height: 85px;

    }


    .quote {

    }

    .copyright p{

Hi Erdrag,

I've edited your code so it appears correct in your post.

Here is a link to explain how to use Markdown to post your code How to post code

If you look at the bottom of the box when your typing a reply you will see Markdown Cheatsheet that will also explain how to post your code.

You have to make sure you have a bit of space under your last line of text in your post. Then you add three back ticks followed by html or css depending on the type of code your inserting.
Then straight after your last line of code you add another three back ticks.
Remember to leave at least a few lines between any text at the top or bottom of your code.

alt text

Hope this helps.

The probable error to your problem is the fact that you use 

position: absolute;

try using

display: inline-block;
text-align: right;

After that start playing with the margins. This should not force your nav under your header as a block, and will align it to the right inside of it's parent container.
