614 PointsPadding top , bottom, left , right?
Select the links inside the nav element and set their font weight to 800. Then, set padding on the top and bottom to 15 pixels. Set the padding on the left and right to 10 pixels.
Bummer! The top padding for nav links should be 15px
Where am I messing up?
nav { font-weight: 800; padding: 15px 10px; }

The challenge wants you to select the links inside the nav element. So your selector should be nav a, not just nav.

32,834 PointsYou're totally right, that's my bad. I changed it.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 49,960 PointsYou are selecting the nav and not the links inside it. Maybe you could try
nav a {
// styles
}
Hope this helps!

32,834 PointsYeah exactly. For the most part, when you want to target a link, you'll use the anchor tag selector.
