If we are going to edit the header, shouldn't it have been:
<div class="container">
<header class="main-header">
<h1 class="name"><a href="#">Best City Guide</a></h1>
<ul class="main-nav">
<li><a href="#">ice cream</a></li>
<li><a href="#">donuts</a></li>
<li><a href="#">tea</a></li>
<li><a href="#">coffee</a></li>
</ul>
</header>
</div>

inside provides a convenient target for styling to provide margins and centering for the inner elements, while still allowing the header
itself cover the full width of the window.
