CODE ADDICT Simply Recipes Tutorial - CSS navbar button error

HTML-CSS
1

Hi, I’m brand new at this and I’m following along Code Addicts Build a Recipes Website Tutorial ( HTML & CSS Project Tutorial - Build a Recipes Website - YouTube ) but I’ve made an error somewhere which is preventing my navbar displaying in a column. Please can someone tell me where I’ve messed up? I’ve looked at the final file and I can’t see what I’ve missed.

You don’t have any way of linking to this in codepen but codepen provides a way to use normalize as the base.

Click cog icon in codepen’s CSS editor and in the “CSS Base” section select the “Normalize” radio button. (it defaults to “Neither”)
Save & Close and…
