Portfolio navigation <ul> hyperlinks suddenly wrapping

On my portfolio heading, just under the logo, I have navigation links (portfolio, about, contact.) This wasn't happening before; suddenly when I make the browser window smaller to imitate a mobile or tablet browser window, the hyperlinks go from being inline, to the contact hyperlink falling below the other two links. I'm so confused and haven't been able to figure out what I did wrong! How do I keep my links lined up regardless of browser size (also without the text cutting off)?

Sorry I have not shared my code with this question...I also do not understand how to do this.

Hi Sketch Goddess,

If the width of your links exceeds the width of your browser, they will automatically be pushed down, to accommodate the space below. It's likely that this is what is happening here.

So if you want them to stay in line, you'd have to mess around with your widths/margins/paddings to reduce the overall width of the ul.

To post your css code, by the way, you need to place three backticks (`) + css (no spaces) before your code. Then three backticks after the code. If you want to paste HTML, just replace 'CSS' with 'HTML'. You should see a link under the question box called 'markdown worksheet' that has more details on this.

Hope that helps,

Ede
