Styles do not apply... =(

    Font-size: 26px;
    color: green;
}

Are you struggling with applying the font-family?

no. Why "NAV" isn't working =(

nav { font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; Font-weight: Bold; Font-size: 26px; color: green; }

even just nav { Font-size: 26px; }

Hi Alexey,

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.

Alexey,

You need to place your style tags inside the body of your html. (I did notice you have a style sheet linked in your html, so I'm not sure why you have to put your css in your html but here is my answer). 

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Японские Штучки</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
        <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:700,800,400&subset=latin,cyrillic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
    </head>


<body> <!-- inside body tag -->
      <header> <!-- I put your code inside header tags, the question should tell you where to put them -->
        <style>
          nav {
            font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
            Font-weight: Bold; <!-- change F to f and B to b-->
            Font-size: 26px; <!-- change F to f -->
            color: green;
           }
         </style>
       </header>


        <nav>
            <ul>
                <li>Home</li>
                <li>About</li>
                <li>Buy</li>
                <li>Contact</li>
            </ul>
        </nav>
    </body>
</html>

All good. The error was in the name of the css file... On the server it was "Style.css", and in the html "style.css"

Thanx again) I am a noobie)
