Still having problems with margins.

I have tried all suggestions and still get the error message 'Be sure to set the top margin to 0.'

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;
  nav ul {
  margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
}
}

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;
}

Hi Arlene,

The issue is here:

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
  nav ul {
  margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
}
}

you have the nav ul selector nested inside of the nav a:hover selector. Try closing the nav:a hover selector before starting the nav ul rule.

Your code should look like this:

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}
nav ul {
  margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
}

You can also use the shorthand notation of margin: 0 10px;

This is the answer

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; }

ul { margin: 0 10px; }
