Your ul element has the class main-nav, so your current CSS is not targeting correctly.

You want to target the list items (li) within the main-nav class. :)

Namely, you should delete this:

.main-nav ul {
  display:inline-block;
}

You're close, but you have a selector issue. A selector of ".main-nav ul" would target a ul element that is inside an element with class "main-nav", but there's nothing like that on this page.

Here, the ul is the element with that class, so a selector for it would be "ul.main-nav" or just ".main-nav". The other code is fine, so when you fix the selector you will pass task 2.
