My navigation bar doesn't look the same as the one in the video.

I guess that I've missed some CSS rules somewhere, but I don't know exactly which ones. My links don't have long enough spaces between them, looks like I didn't declare correct margin/padding for them, am I right?

Please help :)

It's going to be much easier to help you if we can see your code. There is a link for viewing the markdown cheatsheet if you click on the comment section here.

Looks like you forgot the nav a { font-weight: 800; padding: 15px 10px;

}
