Disappearing header text

Hi gents and ladies. In the header section, I've aligned the text to the right as directed, but on my index.html page, the word "Portfolio" has vanished. Does anyone know why please?

Here's my responsive.css code if this helps:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  /***************************
  Two-column layout
  ***************************/
  #primary {
    width: 50%;
    float: left;  
  }

  #secondary {
    width: 40;
    float: right;
  }

  /***************************
  Page: Portfolio
  ***************************/

  #gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
  }

  #gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: left;
  }

  /***************************
  Page: About
  ***************************/

  .profile-photo {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 5% 80px 0;
  }

}

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {

  /***************************
  Header
  ***************************/

  nav {
    background: none;
    float: right;
    font-size: 1.125em;
    margin-right: 5%;
    text-align: right;
    width: 45%;
  }

}

Thanks

Sean

Actually the text is still there, but when I move my mouse pointer, the moment it becomes a pointing hand, the text disappears and it's a bit painful on my eyes.

it sounds like you have margin collapsing issue going on. Have you tried using the clearfix option to see if that corrects it? or it could be you need to clear the floats.

Try adding:

#logo { float: left; max-width: 45%; margin-left: 5%; text-align: left; }

since you only moved the nav to the right and not the logo to the left thats might be the issue, tell me it worked :)

Hi Ilias. I've changed the max-width to 45% and here's what happened. When I expanded my screen to desktop size, my headings moved to the centre. Presumably that's supposed to happen? I've also changed the background to a different colour so it doesn't hurt my eyes so much. I have epilepsy so I have to be careful. Thanks. :-)
