Stage 5 Challenge:Set the padding on the top and bottom to 15px.Set the padding on the left and right to 10px.

When I check the work,it says "Bummer!The top padding for nav links should be 15px."

Here is my css code.

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%;

Select the links inside the nav element

you code doesn't have a selector for link inside nav element, the properties were all put into the nav ul li selector, this doesn't work.

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

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

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

Hope that helps.
