2,060 PointsI'm not sure why nav li { margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px; } Doesn't work here.
I've also tried
nav li { margin: 0px 10px; }
and
nav li { margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; }
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
nav a {
color: #fff;
}
nav a:hover {
color: #32673f;
}
nav li {
margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
}
h1 {
font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
font-size: 1.75em;
font-weight: normal;
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
}
#gallery {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#gallery li {
float: left;
width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;

nav ul {
margin: 0 10px;
}

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 51,574 PointsHI,
It depends how your HTML nesting looks like. But a <li></li> is 99% nested in a <ul></ul> .
In HTML you have to be careful with nesting. As you have written your CSS the HTML to go with it would be:
<nav>
<li>line1</li>
</nav>
But in fact it's this:
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Line1</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Did you try:
nav ul li {
margin: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
}
/*shorthand for this margin*/
margin: 0px 10px;
