a { color: #4FB69F; text-decoration: none; } h1{ font-size: 1.750em; letter-spacing: -1.5px; }

h2{ font-size:1.500em; color: #B4C34F; }

.btn { color: #FAF3BC; background: #4FB69F url('img/texture.png') no-repeat right top; padding: 15px 30px; margin: 40px 0px; border-radius: 25px; text-transform: uppercase; }

Can you post your html again, this time adding three ` on the line before and three more on the line after the code? That helps with the formatting so I can read it. Copy the following into your comment and put your code inside:

    ```html
        PASTE YOUR CODE IN HERE
    ```

Shouldn't this: ul.nav { margin: 120px 0 0 0; list-style: none; float: right; } ul.nav li { float:left; margin-right: 40px; }

be nav ul { margin: 120px 0 0 0; list-style: none; float: right; } nav ul il { margin: 120px 0 0 0; list-style: none; float: right; }

Yes, if the ul was inside a <nav> That's what I thought initially, but in the html the ul actually has a class of nav, so ul.nav is correct.

I must have missed that part of the HTML.

Shadiya,

Maybe This will help.
