Issue
I'm relatively new to HTML and CSS. I'm working on a portfolio website for class and am not using Bootstrap.
I can't seem to get rid of this small weird space on the right side of my page. I want my navbar to span the entire length of my page! The same thing is happening with my header image even when I change the margins, padding, etc. I'm out of ideas!
Any help/ideas would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

I think i may have some helpful comments.
We usually use positive margins. Like
margin-top: 5pxwill give you a margin of 5px on the top.nav, h1, div... are block elements. That means that their width is naturally all that is available and a
width: 100%is usually not necessary.If you do use
width: 100%, the element will be the width of the parent element. So if you then apply margins, the element will be pushed to one side, but the width o the element will still be 100% of the parent. To avoid this, you can usewidth: calc(100% - 2*5px)for example. But in your case, i don't recommend setting any width at all.
So... less is more. The development tools in firefox or chrome can be a great help to understand what is going on if your css isn't exactly doing what you expected.
