Why isn't my nav logo <a #logo> tag floating left all the way? html is good, I'm guessing it has to do with my css.

This is my html:

<a href="index.html" id="logo">
      <h1>Xavier Patterson</h1>
      <h2>Designer</h2>
    </a>

this is my css that pertains to the nav:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px){


  /****************** 
  Two column layout
  ******************/

  #primary {
    width: 50%;
    float: left;
  }

  #secondary {
  width: 40%;
  float: right;  
  }
    /****************** 
  3 * 5 = 15
  ******************/
  /****************** 
  Page: Portfolio
  ******************/

  #gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
  }

  #gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: left;
  }

  /****************** 
  Page: About
  ******************/

  .profile-photo {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 5% 80px 0;
  }


}


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

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

  }


  #logo {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 45%;
    text-align: left;
    width: 45%;
  }


  h1 {
  font-size: 2.5em;
  }


  h2 {
    font-size: 0.825em;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
  }

  header {
    border-bottom: 5px solid #599a68;
    margin-bottom: 60px;
  }

}

Hi Xavier,

You look to have a margin-left of 45% on your floated logo which will mean it won't display all the way to the left side.

#logo { float: left; margin-left: 45%; text-align: left; width: 45%; }

Hope that helps.
