The final task is asking you to select links inside the nav, but you are selecting list items. This should work: 

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

Hi Judith,

Agree with Emma, it is basically asking for links (a), not lists (li). Everything is perfect on your side except minor. 

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

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