I set the font weight to 800px but I still get an error message and I don't understand why.

nav a { font-weight: 800px; padding: 15px 10px; }

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
  }

nav a {
  font-weight: 800px;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

Hey Fametta,

font-weight is just numbers, no pixel value on it. It goes from 100-800 in 100 increments, with 100 being the lightest and 800 being the boldest. So, just take the "px" off the end of the 800. :)

In code, it would look like:

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}
