But first make sure you are selecting the anchor element (a) inside the nav element (nav).
Then make sure you also set the font weight to 800.
Finally, if you need to set a padding where the top and bottom share a value and the left and right share a value you can use the short hand:
padding: (top and bottom value) (left and right value);
For example, if I wanted a top and bottom of 0 and left and right of 5px it would be
padding: 0 5px;
Don't forget your semi colons!
Good luck.

font-weight:800;
padding:15px 10px;
}

Treehouse TeacherHave you tried using the shorthand for the padding? That might be what the challenge is wanting.
nav a {
font-weight: 800;
padding: 15px 10px;
}
