Why does the display property interfere with the position property?

I used position: relative on my h1 so that I could move it around my header using the offset properties. I then used display: inline-block so that the h1 content area wouldn't stretch across the page. After using the display property it seemed to cancel the position I set for it.

Hey Alex,

That shouldn't be happening. If you're using Workspaces here on Treehouse, can you post a snapshot of your Workspace you are using for this? If you don't know how to do that, check this out: http://www.teamtreehouse.com/forum/workspace-snapshots
