Looks like you have a few mistakes in your CSS.

The "wrapper" div has an id of "wrapper", but you left of the "#" in your css. Same with the logo element. Also, make sure your comments start with /* and end with */

/**************** GENERAL ****************/

#wrapper {
  max-width:940px; 
  margin: 0 auto; 
  padding: 0 5%; 
}

a { 
  text-decoration:none; 
}

/**************** HEADING ****************/

#logo {
  text-align: center; 
  margin: 0; 
}

h1 { 
  font-family:'merriweather', serif; 
  margin: 15px 0; 
  font-size: 1.75em;
}

/**************** COLOR ****************/

/*site body*/ 

body { 
  background-color:#fff; 
  color:#999; 
}

/*Green header*/ 
header { 
  background:#6bab47; 
  border-color:#599a68; 
} 

/*logo text*/ 

h1, h2 { color:#fff; } 

/* links */ 

a { color:#6ab47b; } 

/* nav background on mobile */ 

nav { background:#599a68; } 

/*nav */ 

nav a, nav a:visited { color:#fff; } 

/*selected nav link*/ 

nav a:selected, nav a:hover { color:#32673f; }

Edit - looks like Dane's edit fixed your IDs and comments.
