595 PointsSpacing and font styles are incorrect
Hi, my H3 and Nav elements are not styled properly and I'm not sure why.
I'm also missing the space between my section content and the navigation.
Code below.
Help!

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 1,765 PointsHi, could you edit your original post and use the "Markdown Cheatsheet" under the text box to enter your code properly? That would make it much easier to read. Thanks!

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 1,765 PointsAlso here
h3 { font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 700; margin: 0 0 1em 0; }
font-size cannot be 700. That would be huge for one, and you did not specify what unit. 700 what? Perhaps you meant font-weight, in which 700 would probably be valid. font-size needs to be something like 12px or 1em.

What do you think about the spacing question?
Cari Sekendur
595 PointsAlso, I'm having another spacing issue now that I've added media queries. There isn't enough space between my 2 columns, and when I expand the desktop browser, the mail, phone and twitter icons stick to the left (primary) column, even though in my html they are in the secondary column. Any idea how to solve this?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 1,765 PointsAs far as the spacing between section and nav elements, I would open up workspaces for the video that those instructions are on and compare it to your own. I'm not sure whether or not the instructions say to add a bottom margin or padding but I would bet that that is your issues. As far as your other question, I'm pretty new at this as well haha. I just finished Nick's CSS videos a few days ago. So I'm no use there. Sorry! I seem to remember having similar issues and I think for me it was something to do with syntax errors. You could also google a css and/or html validator and put your code in and see if it can be of any use. Sorry I'm not more help!
Cari Sekendur
595 PointsThanks so much Chandice! I really appreciate your help! You seem like a pro!
Cari Sekendur
595 PointsOne more follow up... is there a way I can see Nick's code to compare to mine without rewatching the videos?
