How do I expand the top and bottom of my nav's list items like in the video?

The dark green background behind my nav's list items seems to be squeezed right up to the top and bottom of the text for "Portfolio", "About", and "Contact". I'm not sure where I went wrong.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Nate

Hey Josh! Thanks for your reply.

I figured it out. My selector "nav ul" was set to "0" when it should have been set to "20px".

Cheers,

Nate

Have you tried adding padding to the header? Or was a height specified in the video for the header?
