Hi Naveen,

Your CSS is a little bit messed up.

You choose the property and close with a colon, and after you choose value you close with a semi-colon. Also, notice that the challenge is asking only for the margin property, you do not need to use padding.

It should look something like this:

main.css 
a {

  text-decoration: none;

}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
}

Hope this helps!

Hi there Naveen,

You've almost got it,

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0 5%;
}
#logo {
   text-align: center;
  margin:0 ;
}

Instead of using = to assign values you need to use a colon, :.

It's this that separates a CSS property from its value.

Replace all your = signs with : in your css

ie.

wrapper {

max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; }

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0; }
