It's been a while that i have watched those videos - so just to clarify: What exactly do you want to achieve? Do you just want to know on thich Element you should apply padding? Because this really depends on the outcome you want to get.

This would make your website look more spaced out if you add this to your main.css file

h2 { padding: 0 0 20px 0; }

img.profile-photo { padding: 20px; }

for the heading present in your selection tag of your page target the h3 tag element in html by CSS.

this would be something like this:

h3 { padding: 10px 0 0 0; }

hope this helps

Regards John

Hey Daniel, it looks like your just missing a value of 30px for the margin.

header {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 0 30px 0;
  padding: 5px 0 0 0;
  width: 100%;
}

Yeah this is what I was referring to thanks! Now, how do I had space between the main heading and the navigation? Right now it's bunched up together.

You have an extra colon on your margin for the navigation:

nav {
  text-align: center;
  padding: 10px 0;
  margin:: 20px 0 0; /* Remove extra colon */
}
