basically, to turn any container, like a DIV , a NAV, etc, you need to use the display property to the value of "flex", then you'll be able to apply the flex properties to their children.

Here is an example for a nav the html code:

         <a>Hello</a>
         <a>its</a>

        <a>Me</a>
        <a></a>

</nav>

The Css_

display:flex;
}
nav a{
align-self:center;
}

Hope this helps

Hi Deon Cole

flex is not a CSS property. To create a flexbox container, you would use the display property and the flexbox value. Take a moment and review this video on how to create a flexbox container (Guil describes the CSS starting at ~1:42).
