Hi, sorry for the newbie question but I just can't seem to solve this. When adding padding to the nav anchors I am getting a large space above the nav and the whole lot is pushed over to the right. Thanks!

<header>
<a href="index.html" id="logo">
<h1>Sam Mercer</h1>
<h2>Designer</h2>
</a>
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
