Code Challenge Task 2: Selectors - Beyond the Basics

Am I missing out something here? Please help, thanks in advance!

It looks like we need to decrease the space between h2 elements and the paragraph that immediately follows. Create a new selector that targets p elements that are adjacent siblings of an h2. Then, set the top margin to .5em.

Bummer! Are you setting the correct 'margin-top' value?

.main-nav > li {
  display:inline-block;
  margin-left: 20px;
}

.h2 + p {
  margin-top: .5em;
}
