3,009 PointsDisplay issue with header and nav.
@media screen and (min-width: 660px) { nav { background: none; float: right; font-size: 1.125em; margin-right: 5%; text-align: right; width: 45%; } }
This is my code currently in responsive.css. It is functioning, but it does not display correctly. I will explain this; The background of the nav menu is now white. I cannot seem to figure out why this nav menu isn't blending in with the header. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

6,647 PointsIt seems to me that you're missing some lines of code in main.css, under HEADING, try adding
header {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 30px 0;
padding: 5px 0 0 0;
width: 100%;
}

6,647 PointsIt's a bit hard to say it this way without seeing your code, if you have followed Nick you shouldnt get this kind of problem.
Can you post your code here? Does your header has green background? If yes, seems like your nav is not being considered inside your header, because it's getting white background of a page.

3,009 PointsI accidentally deleted everything at one point, and I must have forgot to add that code. It works very well except for on the about page, it has a gap above the header of just white blank space.

6,647 PointsHm, strange, header should be totaly the same for all pages. You should check your about.html to see if you typed something wrong there, check if you linked css files corectly in about.html.
