HTML How to Make a Website Styling Web Pages and Navigation Create a Horizontal List of Links

Setting padding on top and bottom to 15px with left and right to 10 pixels. I can't see what's wrong.

I have wrote:

nav li { display: inline-block; font-weight: 800; padding: 15px 10px; }

I have tried writing: padding: 15px 10px 15px 10px;

It's not having it.

You need to put the 'font-weight' and the 'padding' on the links in the nav and not on the list-items.

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 10px 15px;
}

Urgh what a twit. I knew doing 3 hours on the trot would go wrong eventually! It's the simple things that do you in. Thanks!
