Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to help you without seeing your code. If you have a GitHub repo up you could link it here. If you're doing this in workspaces, you can make a snapshot of your workspace and link it here. This will allow us to fork your workspace and have a look around. :sparkles:

I agree with the others about posting code. Also, don't be afraid to split out your css code into multiple files. Maybe make one file just for the nav styling, then one for each page. Maybe instead of just a nav styling file, you can make a layout.css file that includes nav and footer styles that are shared amongst all of your pages.

When you apply CSS, remember specificity and that css files are read from top to bottom. So the last thing wins if you select and change the same element multiple times. Try to add specificity if something doesn't seem to be sticking.

Use descendant selectors to be specific about which elements you are trying to select. Like don't just choose <li> elements, make them more specific by stating:

.nav-bar li {
}
