New to css. Custom header not showing??

[WolfeMan]

So I am very much new to html and css and am having an issue already which just doesn’t seem to make sense as what I’m trying to do is so simple. I’m trying to make a navigation bar on the top and I have changed the color in css but for some reason I can’t get the bar to show at all. The html contained within shows but I don’t think my styling is doing anything. The code for the html is

any idea why this isn’t working? I’m getting flashbacks to when I first started learning c++ and I would get hung up on the dumbest of things where I read other peoples nearly identical code but mine for whatever reason doesn’t work.

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?? thanks.

Looks fine to me, what exactly wouldn’t be working then? Of course the page’s image won’t show because the path isn’t accessible – and the content of the <p> element is there but the text is white (and not discernible from the background)…

Edit – this is incorrect though (but doesn’t do much anyway) :

position: 50% 50%;
