margin in CSS

This is about 2nd or 3rd time I've been back to margins. It keeps give me an error that bottom margin should be zero.

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 {
  margin 0 10px;
  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;
}

I don't see your code in your post. What you want to do is select the ul element that's inside the nav element. Then create a CSS rule that sets the top and bottom margins to 0 and the left and right margins to 10px.

nav ul {  /* Select the appropriate element(s)... */
  margin: 0 10px;  /* Remember that the shorthand goes top/bottom first, followed by left/right. */
}

Hi Arlene,

I'm not sure which margin needs to be 0, but check your "nav a" section. I don't see a colon after the word margin.

Good luck! Mike
