post some html for us. You also missing a semi-colon at the end of your margin-right in your min-width 660px mediq query.

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {

/************************* HEADER **************************/                 

nav { background: none; float: right; font-size: 1.125em; margin-right: 5%; text-align: right; width: 45%; }

}

Yeah, I ran it through the CSS validator and it thrown the same parse error. But thank you for responding back to me. By the way, how do make the code I put in code friendly?

wrap the text in 3 backticks(`). The backtick is the other symbol on the tilde (~)

In the video the color for the nav link is white #FFF.

In the colors sections of your main.css make sure the color for the nav link is white.

/* nav link */ nav a, nav a:visited { color: #FFF;
