nav li { padding: 15px 10px; } saying top and bottom need to be set to 15px, but have it set already.

Hello Michael Lorenzana, nav li { padding:15px; /* it means top:15px, right:15px, bottom:15px, and left:15px */ } If you want to top and bottom then should write. padding: 15px 0 15px 0;

Thank you for your reply. Although I do think it is the selector, because the values for top and bottom and left and right can be called with padding: 15px 10px;. It says make top and bottom 15 px and left and right 10 px. I think it is the selector, but it is telling me to call the list in the nav element. I'll double check it may be nav a instead of nav li.
