You dont have nav a:

nav ul { margin: 0 10px; text-decoration: none; padding:0; } nav li { display: inline-block; } nav a{ font-weight: 800; padding: 15px 10px; }

You are very close to having it complete. In the unordered list (ul) of the nav section when challenge 2 of 4 asks to remove the bullet points it is referring to list-style. In task 4 of 4 it asks you to select the link in the nav element which requires a whole new declaration.

nav ul {
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;  /* <=== remove bullet points */
}
/* task 3 of 4 */
nav li  {
  display: inline-block;
}

/* Task 4 of 4 */
nav a {   /* <=== the <a> </a> is the link anchor and refers to the link in the nav element */
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}
