When I made the changes to the nav section of the 2nd @media rule my "contact" element drops below the other two navs?

It occurs right before the 660px breaking point. For most of the changed of resolution from 480 to 660 it is fine until just before the 660 break point. Then "Contact" drops underneath the "About" anchor.

Hi Jared,

Usually this can be simply to do with padding or margin on individual element and there not being enough space on that line to hold them with those sizes.

Are you using % based Margins / Padding or Fixed Pixel ?

If fixed pixel try reducing the padding by a couple of pixels to over come the layout mishap!

Hope this helps Craig

Thank you so much Craig! I reduced the padding as you mentioned and the problem is now gone!

I had this same issue and I changed the width of the navigation from 45% to 50% - this fixed it!
