Hi :)

You are simply missing "-block" from your display value as far as I can graps without doing the challenge myself.

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

Look carefully at the question. It wants them inline, but to be able to be styled as a block. Inline is not correct, but what could be? Your selectors are correct.
