8,106 PointsWhy does my header look like this?
here is my code: https://w.trhou.se/6er8z08lyk
I have a thin green bar that contains my portfolio, about etc. Then under the green bar, the lighter green shows up again. I'll try to post an img if possible.

You currently have 20px of top and bottom margin on your nav element. If you remove that, you should see the extra space go away. Hope that helps.
nav { text-align: center; padding: 10px 0; margin: 20px 0; }

8,106 PointsSpecifically, this is what changes everything.
header { float: left; margin: 0 0 30px 0; padding: 5px 0 0 0; width: 100%; }
when I remove the float:left; everything is fine. but the instructor is including it in the tutorial so I'm attempting to do so as well.
