My website exploded!

I did what nick said but, my h1, h2, and nav links moved to the left side of the page and got very small. Can you tell me what I did wrong?

header { float: left; margin: 0 0 30px 0; padding: 15px 0 0 0; width; 100%; }

Can you post all your code for that page?

The issue might be that you have put a semi colon after the width property instead of a colon.

Hi zachariemorrow, I'm on the same exercise and it is working fine for me. The only difference in your code and mine is your padding is set to 15px. and mine is 5px. 

header {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 0 30px 0;
  padding: 5px 0 0 0;
  width: 100%;
}

Let me know if that helped. thanks bob.
